Taper's Notes:

1. This theater is particularly reverberant. I reduced the sides of the stereo image a little to try and remove some echo - lots still remains. Cudos to the sound crew for making the room sound much better than expected. (Forward Acoustics in Hamilton can sort you out with excelent absorbers and diffusers, www.forwardacoustics.com)

2. Other processing:
a. Reduced nearby claps with Sony Sound Forge's Click and Crackle Remover.
b. EQ: I brought everything above 8kHz down by 3dB. I also reduced around 3.7kHz by about 2dB to get rid of that peakiness SM57's/58's have (it was especially evident on the trombone).
c. Compression: linear-phaze multi-band
d. Limiting: I brought the average loudness up to around -15dB.

3. iZotope resampling and dithering to 44.1kHz/16-bit.
