Another awesome quality recording from Doug for you today. It was so good that while spot-checking it, I thought it was a soundboard tape. Nope, the crowd noise between songs must make it an audience tape… but since the recording was so clean, I was able to put it into Izotope and do a rebalance, vs. the standard EQ job. Dave’s vocals and the guitar were buried, and Izotope pulled them right up front. Gotta love that software.
Oh, one last thing. The Izotope rebalance pushed the levels up a bit- the songs are fine, but the between song banter/crowd peaked/saturated a bit.
Now that I listen again, it sounds like a board tape.
