When i heard strongman's recording and compared it to mine, it was apparent that Neil's guitar was much stronger . whereas The GGB version had better bass and drums. Stringman's version also had a fair bit of distortion. which made it hard to bear on listening . So like the fool that I am , I decided to do a matrix mix of the two.
About three weeks later, here it is. I dunno if its incrementally so much improved that you'd drop your jaw on hearing it, but it has much more depth and presence and the stringman version has blended in nicely.
The biggest issue in making a matrix of this show , apart from the GGB source being a single wav file and the stringman version being split into flacs ( which all had to be synchronised ) was that there were two sets of applause and audience noise which needed to be curtailed during the songs.Given that often , during the ends of the longer songs, people started clapping minutes before the end , this was a HUGE job !
If I'd have known how long this would have taken before I started I don't think I would have attempted this.
Anyway, i think its better , see what you think.
Matrix. : Flacs and wav file imported into Audition multitrack session, synched, analysed, applause and noise removed ,tracks cross faded to minimise faults. Some sections I have used spectral analysis, de-essing to minimalize the distortion on Neil's guitar on stringman's flacs.
