Tascam DR-05 > Adobe Audition (light EQ, volume adjustment between some songs, extensive de-clapping, plus extensive dynamic/volume adjustments on the last track) > CDWave (tracking > TLH (flac)

I included the original (without the final dynamic and volume adjustments and some of the de-clapping that became necessary only after the other volume adjustments) version of the final unplugged track in case anyone's curious about it. It took a fair amount of adjustment to bring it up to a listenable level, and you can definitely hear variations in the background noise level, plus Robyn was moving around, the crowd was moving around, I was moving around, etc., but fortunately, I was in the very center of the audience as he walked around the perimeter, so my distance from him didn't change too much. It's an ambient experience and you can definitely hear the crowd collectively singing along, plus for a bit in the middle of the song, one guy in my transient foreground specifically (doing a better job singing than I could). All in all, I enjoy listening to this extensively adjusted version of the track.
