Notes |
Recorded at the Dodge Theatre, Phoenix, AZ, USA. Very good audience recording, just a little distant. From the info file: Tori Amos July 18, 2009 Phoenix, AZ at the Dodge Theatre Taper: Lisa071573 Location: Pit 1, Row 4, Seat 10 Source: SP-SPSM-1 > SP-SPSB-6 (rolloff @ 107Hz) > Sharp MD-MT180 (LP) Transfer: Sony MZ-M200 > USB > SonicStage 3.4 > Goldwave (reduce bass, amplify) > Cool Edit Pro (vocal presence boost/lower 8KHz on graphic equalizer) > CDWave (tracking) > Flac Frontend > flac (level 8 ) Comments: I'm not sure if it was due to where I was sitting or if the bass rolloff was accidentally set at something other than my usual setting of 107Hz, but the recording came out extremely bass heavy. I reduced the bass using Goldwave's 'Reduce Bass' preset and then amplifying the result, then repeated the process again. Additionally, there was a strange, intermittent and fluctuating hiss that was most noticeable during the solo songs. I used CoolEdit to reduce the hiss as much as possible by lowering the 8KHz button on the graphic equalizer and boosting the vocal at the same time. (Because the hiss was intermittent, Cool Edit wouldn't alter the entire wav using the 'Light Hiss Reduction' preset and Goldwave's hiss removal tool was causing too much distortion, hence the use of the 8KHz button as an option.) There is also some clipping present during the applause. Notes: Thanks to Heather for being my concert buddy and to Char for pestering me to get the bootleg done! Setlist: 1. Give 2.
