Matrix arrangement:

flac files both sources -> Magix Audio & Music Lab (edit/remaster) -> FLAC -> DIME
The speed of source 2 was corrected to fit to source 1 (approx. running 5 % too fast). Also a pitch correction was made. VG+/Ex- sound after some equalizing.


This is now the complete show as in source 1 part of Kingdom of Love was due to tape flip and in source 2 parts of the audience/encore calls were missing.
The sound of source 1 is better than of source 2 but the sound of the Matrix is even better and presents a more dynamic approach. Also Hitchcock's voice was quite in the background at source 1 (obviously due to the different position in relation to the source 2 recorder) and so the Matrix presents also an upgrade in this matter.
I have made a CD cover which is attached here.
