Matrix by Hunter Seamons using Final Cut Pro (FLAC > AIFF > Final Cut w/EQ > AIFF CD tracking via Audacity > FLAC16 via xACT w/meta-tagging) December 25, 2023

View NotesNotes:

2-second cut in Cold Rain And Snow and 25-second cut in Drums SBD now patched.

Jeff Silberman's Sennheiser 441 Dat recording, #139156 via Charlie Miller and Joe Noel (8/25/17), patches additional sections between songs in the AUD to maintain a continuous AUD track in the matrix.

Some tuning sections were trimmed.

The SBD speed gradually slows to around -0.4% in set 1 and was adjusted to compensate.

There was an 18-second patch in Fire On The Mountain in the SBD source for which levels and EQ were adjusted to compensate. A minuscule cut occurs at the patch's fade in-point that was doctored to not be noticeable. Some brief phase occurs at the patch's fade out-point.

Lamarre's recording adds some deep, resonant bass that is much needed for these particular SBD mixes. There was some pretty extended high end (treble) for these Philly shows that was EQ'd as needed with respect to each source.
