SOURCE AND LINEAGE: 1983 - Nakamichi CM-300/CP1 > Sony WM-D6C (Dolby B in) > Maxell XLII-S
2010 - Maxell XLII-S > Nakamichi Dragon (Dolby B out) > RDL FP-UBC6 > MOTU 896 > Sound Forge Audio Studio 9.0 > Wave [96kHz/24 bit] > Izotope RX, CEP 2.0 with Izotope Ozone [mastering and downsample/conversion to 44.1KHz/16 bit] > Wave > FLAC
REMASTER SUMMARY: EQ and other work to reveal - not mix - extant AR detail, to every extent possible as the audience heard and felt it. No attempts to alter band-crowd-venue sound balance, or to suppress crowd sound as it does not overwhelm either record mikes or band PA output.
No compression or noise reduction applied. Tape hiss is noticeable, especially during the extremely quite Zawinul-Shorter duet, but even there the signal to noise ratio remains favorable enough to avoid risky NR.

More details are included in the download. Suffice it to say that the result is very favorable! -dave@qb
