hopefully I addressed all the asked questions here:
nah, it's Metallica in Anchorage '92. the masters aren't mine, the mix the guy who taped it did is all shittyfuck (it's like "the loudness wars" between 40hz and 2.5khz, then the high end, while there, is nowhere audible over the sludgy, concrete arena buttmud lo end)...fortunately the only frequency that maxed out was 63hz (at +12db, the eq goes no higher), and with a bit of 'major low end filtering' was able to make it pretty listenable (Jason's bass solo went from "turn it down" to somewhat plucky and defined, for example)....
the other prob is that it's tracked for cd...on a hard drive. so when it was drag/dropped/imported them onto the flashcard, there's 12 tracks instead of 1. the Tascam is making a small gap between them during playback, but nowhere near 2 seconds (not loaded it up yet for splicing, I do about 16gb of real time transfers at time onto card B, then when that card fills up, time to 'produce' (production)...by ear, they're less than .5 long, probably .3. but I'm postive the cds weren't TAO, as the former friend and I are the ones who did the transfers...
I also have the cds, somewhere, but they may be from a previous mix job.
so, in short, they're tracked, sans text file (though I KNOW he torrented the show, more than once), and I've got all his masters on the HD, EQ'd by him, without a visual analyzer (or, his ears ONLY vs. his ears and his eyes), so most of them sound like shit. (usually on the lo end, due to his speakers that were from the 70's, and I told him one was blowing a few years back (before the falling out). he posted FB pix of it shot to shit mere months ago)
anyhow, if I gotta do 'em as suggested (which is what I feared), so be it, though I do like the idea of the 'delete' thing.
