I sat on this for some months, before getting around to sorting out the recording
when I first played it back it sounded a bit Bass-Heavy, so I did some remastering
with Cool Edit Pro2. Burned it listened, didnt like it, it was now too thin.
So I did it again, better but not great, then a 3rd time and I thought it was just about right.
But when I played it back on different equipment, PC, car, HiFi etc it still sounded too light
with vocals a bit hi and drums/bass too 'hissy/undefined'
So I listened again to the original master recording and decided that it was the best one
after all, first 2, 3 songs a bit heavy but rest sounded fine, so I leave it up to you
work on it if you like but I am happy to leave as it is.
By the way, a great show, good support band, Ollie Brown, but Robben was his usual great
performance. He did moan about the cameras a bit. one guy shooting away for most of the first
2 songs, and another one filming with a small Video camera. At one point, cant remember
which song, Robben took his guitar off, came down into the audience, and had a word in the guy's
ear He put his camera away then!. MY mates thought I had got 'busted' and he was coming to talk
to me, but I wasnt too worried, just carried on enjoying the show, although it was a bit hairy
for a moment or two
Enjoy, dont sell, and buy Robbens official CDs/DVDs etc see the band live whenever you can
Cheers
Simon
