Original Remaster Notes:
1. Attenuate clicks, pops, bumps and isolated claps in each source.
2. Match pitch and tonality/EQ given different locations of tapers.
3. Synchonize recordings.
4. Patch missing sections in each recording with the other.
5. Merge both recordings and create stereo image.
6. Correct phasing and center sound.
7. Balance power and dynamics of each channel.
8. Track.

Original Note:
The PRRP 053 project attempted to optimize the sound of each recording of this show separately for enjoyment on its own. Given different taper locations, that allowed a different listening experience from each recording. This stereo remaster project compared the sound of each to the other and matched the pitch, tone and dynamics with the intention of merging them into a composite recording. Given the enhanced acoustics and the quality of each recording used for this project, the resulting stereo remaster provides a better representation of the true live audio experience.


Goody's additional notes:
The source edition ran quite fast, causing the pitch to be approximately 47 cents sharp. A slight error in the DC Bias was corrected before adjusting the pitch.
*Also, once the speed/pitch was adjusted, the total time became longer. CD2 will no longer burn to a standard audio disc without overburning; (many up-to-date burning programs and writers will accomodate this on most blank CD media however, once it is set up in 'preferences'.)
For those who want to burn this to a CD without overburning; please burn 'D2T10alternate' instead of 'D2T10', which I've included in a separate folder. Otherwise, please continue to use D2t10 when setting up playback.
Many thanks to all involved in the various sources and treatments in putting the original package of this outstanding document together!
