Haight Ashbury Street Fair 2012 - The Tubes

note, these are the original attempts at correction for comparison. Apparently much of the EQ had some phase shift. A much better EQ is now at the top of this post)

updated June 11, 2012, new EQ and upload. Low and high frequencies recovered. The original recording was bell curved to avoid overload, and this new upload sounds much better, possibly the best audience recording yet. The Tubes played Jim Hendrix - Third Stone From the Sun at the very end



Update June 13, 2012, a third EQ, more smooth bass transition and slight compression off the top, as Fee waybills voice was mixed very loud




update June 14, 2012. new upload. I worked 8 hours on this one from the original 96khz 24 bit WAV and ran it through a 16 point spectrum filter, no compression, center correction, it is now centered in the middle, plus DC offset correction. I think this is the best one yet and closest to the way it sounded at the show

part of the problem with this recording is it was way more crowded than the Chuck Prophet show before it, jam packed tight with people shoving their way through the crowd, so the recording was jostled a bit. That's why it has some frequency drift. Only way to correct that is run it through some really serious processing with separate frequencies independantly and then joined again
