media is cheap...I would always go with keeping the original data intact...

I agree that media is cheap..  but the data you are talking about is not music..   doesnt bother me a bit to cut out pre-encore chatter if it means fitting the encore on a disk ..  

people talk about media being cheap..  that doesnt mean "waste" it..

ymmv

guess it really depends on your view of "capturing the show"...my opinion, the cheering in between main set/encore is as much a part of the show experience as the music itself....

just a different view is all

Oh I agree.. I wouldnt be DAUD taping if I didnt agree..   but when it comes to putting one track on a cd to make the disks 3 instead of 2(or 2 instead of 1), I dont see how it's justified...  I can live without 2-3-4- or 5 minutes of crowd noise..  as I hear plenty of it between tracks..

I repsonded to you privately. However this assertion of yours is so ridiculous I couldn't pass it up.

a. I typed, I didn't speak. You cannot read emotion from text. You assumed I was trying to be condecending, I wasn't.

You most certainly can read emotion from text. I and billions of other people do it everyday when we read a book. When an author uses empahasis (such as bold or italics) they are inferring emotion. Perhaps you should refrain from bolding in your posts until you have a better grasp of what you are actually conveying when using emphasis.

For what it's worth, I don't think the Waves L1 Ultramaximizer+ is the best thing to be using on audience recordings of rock music. To my ears, it adds a harshness that doesn't sound as "musical" to me. Try the Waves C4 for audience recordings of rock music. I use the Waves L2 plug-in to "maximize" the sound for the voice conferences I edit. I think it works great in that application.

Thanks for the tip. I will give that a try. +T

I have a CD mastering question:

when a second set including encore runs just over 80 minutes, is it considered poor form to cut a couple of minutes from the crowd noise between the last song and the encore to get the set+e to fit on one 80 minute CD?  Seems sort of wastefull to offer a B&P with just the encore on on CD because of a few minute overrun.


I've trimmed the crowd noise from a couple of shows to accomodate this. If you had a situation where the band didn't come back on stage for about 5-10 minutes then that's a long time to listen to the crowd on repeated listenings. You can use crossfade paste on Sound Forge to ensure the break in the recording can't be noticed.

The only person who should master a show is the one who taped it, or someone specifically chosen by the taper. If you choose to alter a recording to your liking ,that's cool, but it should not be circulated openly. That just causes mass choas and then before you know it,everyone and their brother is "re-mastering" shit and you end up with dozens of versions of the same show,and no one knows what is what.

good to learn this thanks.
