CD 1 & 2 : Seattle (WA) - April 24th, 2005

thir13en notes

There's good and bad news.

The good: Decent mono mix from the ALD is aided very nicely by an ambient stereo AUD. The total overall mix is dynamic, and the performance by the boys keeps up their end of the bargain.

The bad: As mentioned above, the ALD is typically mono and a bit compressed, but much worse is the random FM-sounding static attacks. On some songs it's often, on others it's nothing. It seems to have the most trouble in the very beginning, the first 3 songs or so, then makes a come back later in the second hour of the set. Considering how they started and how distracting they were, the solution I decided upon is an improvement, but it came at a cost. Most of the fixes go by cleanly, but there are at least half a dozen that will at times sound like slight dropouts. Though not up to my desired outcome, it really was better than the sword-stabbing effect they had previously.

Much gratitude to Sean for the sources and letting me do my thing.

Peace,
