Waves processed with Soundforge 6 because original source CD was recorded TAO. Speed corrected -1 cent as original source ran too fast. CDwav used to retrack. I used the original track placing because there were small dropouts inbetween tracks from the TAO fix. However, it's all crowd noise, so I don't think it detracts too much from the show, which is awesome.
Enjoy!!!!

SHN>Single WAV file>Cool Edit Pro>CDWave (tracking)>Goldwave (fades)>FLAC

I really felt the "TAO fix" on this recording was disappointing. Most of the track breaks still had very obvious 1/8 second hiccups. I have fixed all of these in Cool Edit Pro. The tape is still not perfect, but in my opinion, sounds far better.

There was a gap between tracks 11 and 12 that didn't match up at all, so I added a gentle fade in/fade out with Goldwave.

The beginning of "Birdhouse in Your Soul" was sort of a mess in addition to cutting in abruptly and being warbled due to the tape flip, had a dropout a few seconds in. I removed the dropout, and I added a fade out/fade in to make it less weird.

Aside from the gap/dropout removal, the two fades out/in, and conversion to FLAC, no other editing was done to the show. Enjoy. -Gravitywheel
