SANTANA 1992-08-29 Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA - Ex+ SBD (with binaural ambience) Dat master - 157 min. w/PHISH & other guests

Santana
August 29, 1992
Shoreline Amphitheatre
Mountain View, California, USA

Stereo soundboard plus Sennheiser binaural mics on "dummy head" (live matrix mix). It really sounds a lot like a soundboard-only recording except that some audience noise can be heard low in the mix in the background. Recordings of this show and the three other nights of the "CarloPhornia Four" all sound fantastic. Carlos loved recordings made with the binaural mics and was into making his live tapes sound as good as possible. Highly recommended!

Lineage: Sbd > Dat master (2 x Maxell DM-120, unknown model deck recorded at 48 kHz. sampling rate).

Transfer [2012-05]: Panasonic SV-3700 (S/PDIF coax/RCA output) > Macintosh with Digidesign Audiomedia III card > Pro Tools (minor "nip and tuck" edits, DC offset correction, normalization, tracking and down-sampling - no equalization or DNR) > AIFF files > xACT (Flac level 8 files with sector boundaries verified).

Note: There was a tape change gap at about 5:40 of Toussaint L'Overture where a little bit is missing. I think everything sounds AOK now though minor "gremlins" may remain that I didn't notice or forgot to mention. On this tour with Phish, there were many odd extra guests and therefore some details may still be missing.

Enjoy and SHARE!
