OU: This is a rework of the audio added 15-07-10. I've done the following tweaks to improve sound:
- Channels are ballanced by increasing audio in right channel.
- Audience noise is considerably reduced, particularly shouts and claps during songs.
- Added a slight bit of high end to give a slightly sharper sound.
OU Notes on the result: I went through a literal hell to reduce the audience noise on this one - the shouts were not so bad, but the clapping ment A LOT of repetitive small edits (but I guess I have a stubborn nature, once I started, I wanted to go through with it). As others have mentioned, someone in the audience very close to the recorder is quite enthusiastic and shouts and woops a lot, and while the sound is improved a lot in my oppinion, there's only so much you can do. Normally, I try to go for discretion, so that the changes I make as far as possible not are noticable, but that was not really an option here - in order to make this pleasant to listen to, I had to cut down audience shouts a lot, and that means you might notice where I've taken action.
I didn't do much changes to the audio in general, as I think it was a fairly good source (apart from the audience intervention). Apparantly recorder was placed left of center of the stage, which means left channel has a higher recording level of the music. I even this out by increasing volume of right channel - however, as audience sounds was even in both channels, this means audience is now a bit higher in right channel (in case you wondered why). I didn't add compression to the music tracks, because the original master has a pretty good dynamic response, however I did add compression to the parts where Phil talks, because those were barely audible as it were. Also, I've added a fade between My Girl and the Quincy Jones/Claude Nobs talk, because it's virtually impossible to make out what is being said in this part, and hence I preferred to have it optionable whether you want to include this track.
I hope you'll enjoy the result.
