The balance was way to the left on this recording, so I have done my best to correct that. I did this for my own listening
but felt it was offering here to those who might be curious. It's still not perfectly balanced - the instrumentation is
towards the left channel, while Iggy's vocal hovers between the middle and the right channel, a bit like an early Beatles
stereo mix! Some may feel that's an exaggeration and that it's fine, others may feel that's it's no good to them.

Check the sample and see for yourself : this is an alternative offered up that I feel is of interest to Iggy fans.

If this is for you, enjoy.

The re-work was roughly as follows
-12db decrease (as the mixing and combining needs space)
double up the tracks, add .01 sec delay to one of the channels, split channels and mix either side (balance achieved through
trial and error - largely balanced towards the right to sort out left bias issue)
Combine above doubled up track with untouched track with the latter at a higher level : in this case the balanced for the mixed verison was 20% towards the right channel, and the unmixed version I set it at 50% towards the right (again trial and error). The above mixing while giving a nice widening effect I am more than aware can sometimes sound artificial to some, and I have found combining it with the untouched file means a balance is achieved between the raw sound of the original and the mixed version. Studios used - and I'm sure still do - used to resort to all sorts of double tracking and compression effects and the bottom line is this method I found by trial and error sounds good to me and others. Those who do not approve or find it does not sound good to them - no-one is forcing you to download this.
Voila...I listen to live recordings in headphones for the most part, and many people listen in headphones / earphones these days.
This may sound better to many like that, and I am aware that through conventional speakers this sort of mix / re-work may or may
not sound as good as an untouched version. It's very subjective, and very much down to individual preference.

FANCY HEARING MORE IGGY!?

I'm keen to get hold of these...

How about you?

If you are after the above or any other Iggy gigs, if you find / make time to seed something that's unusual or simply some Iggy that's not been seeded for a while, if just 1 in 20-40 downloaders did the same there's a good chance more Iggy that you've been after could turn up!

If, like me, you've spent a lot of time combing the net for long lost Iggy recordings, think of how something you are after could just turn up here - after someone who's got something you would like picks up something seeded here and likes that too!

If Dime torrenting isn't your thing, there are other options...uploading through other forms, CDR by mail etc, let's get more circulating here!

Thanks for any help on any of the above shows!
