Recording Notes:

This is a recording for true die hard James Taylor fans.

The wind, especially during the first set, was horrendous! In over 20 years at the A&B, I have never experienced it this strong. At times, the wind completely obliterated hearing the music.

RX was used to make this show listenable. RX wind denoise module only works with slight wind during vocals only tracks. For this, I was able to unmask the music and vocals using spectral repair with a horizontal orientation. I won't get into technical details but although there are a number of anamolies in the wind attenuated sections, the show is listenable.

When the wind dies down, especially during the second set, the show sounds good.

So as usual, take it if you need it, if you don't just pass it on.

Feel free to share and post elsewhere.

Aloha from Maui,
