Greetings all,
Recently I transferred one of my DAT masters to CD and instantly remembered why I didn't remember ever listening to the show.
I recorded (stealthed, SHUSHHHH!) ;) Peter Green & The Splinter Group at the Ventura Theatre in 2000. I was up front, in the first tier, about 18 ft from stage center and the crowd was reasonably quiet. Neumann AK-40's (x/y)->LC3 Actives->KM-100's->Beyer MV-100->SBM-1->TCD-D7.
This would have been an awesome show, except that the left-channel XLR jack on the MV-100 had a bad internal connection. I have since had the unit repaired and re-soldered.
There are three or four places in the first half of the show where the left channel completely drops out, for a minute or two at a time.
I don't have the computer programs or the skill to attempt to fix this myself. I'm guessing that the other channel can be cloned to 'patch' those bad spots. Could anyone help me with this? The DAT master has been transferred to CD via: Tascam DA-P1->coax->HHb CDR 800 Pro.
I've seen Peter Green twice, at the Ventura Theatre. The first time ('98) I used small mics, but the Neumanns sound so much sweeter. Hoping someone can lend a hand.

That's a pretty simple fix. If you want to send the file to me via www.wetransfer.net I'll do it. My e-mail is dorrcoq@shaw.ca
