at8022, & Mavis Staples, Lineage: EdiroIR-09HR with Audia TechnicaAT8022 stereo mic> files burned to computer>output to CDs>CDs loaded onto my computer and worked on extensively with Soundforge Professional., Notes: This is one of the more problematic recordings I've worked on, but I spent a few hours on it because a) I don't think another tape of the Eugene show has surfaced and b) I was there, so I wanted it anyway., First, we have to thank WG for this recording. He's not wild about taking bows, because there were problems. On his recorder, the volume was somehow "locked in" at a high level and he fought that through the first three songs primarily. (And the Mavis set suffers for this too). For whatever reasons, it's most an issue for track 3-"Beyond Here Lies Nothin'", which was just essentially "bricked" and therefore distorted., I did a lot of work to get the first three songs to some degree of listenablity, although you may just want to skip "Beyond". "Things.." will have mic bumping and glitches-and it's faded in because the very start of the recording had way too much of that and it was better to just get past it and fade up, though you really miss little of the song., "She Belongs To Me" actually wasn't too hot so that turned out ok., The "bricked" track, though, that's distorted, there's a lot of "skipping" sounds (that's not your cd player that's the mike levels being strangled so it will sound like skips) until about 3:18 when WG succeeds in backing off the volume and the rest of it is back to some degree of normal levels., You will hear a bit of that "skipping sound" for about the first 20 seconds of song four, "What I'll Do", and then after that, you really have a pretty listenable Bob show. I did a fair amount of eq work throughout because even when not distorted it was kind of muddy sounding. I applied a few tricks to deal with those mike bumps and glitches to dial those back as much as possible., Finally, again, this is good to get because without the taper, we wouldn't have it at all, and about 80% turned out pretty well. You had a taper with a cold, a recorder not behaving, and not a huge fan of the Sinatra material, so he could have shut it down. But he didn't, so be grateful...if mindful of the issues I've documented., My decision to include Mavis on the second disc, because I love her so much, but her set was of course first and that one wasn't bricked, but it was pretty loud and therefore you'll hear some audible "crackling" even after my sonic touches to soften the whole thing. I have included after that the not-faded "All Or Nothing At All" so you can choose to insert that back in order and do your own split on two cds and not include Mavis at all., Thank you for not slinging too many arrows my direction. I haven't uploaded anything in a long time, but I hope someone out there likes at least most of what is offered.
