Post NOTES 
(Only post processing noted below was applied to this material.)

Transfer to digital into Adobe Audition at 32bit/48kHz
Editing done in 32bit/48kHz realm:
---------------------------------------------------------------- 
- Remedial - elevated kick drum mono track +6dB
- Mixing - EQ'd each trac to focus the target instrument. Panned guitar RT,
  drum OH & Kick LT
- Mastering - Tinch of reverb, small tube excitation, more than
  a pinch of loudness boost to help the off mic banter. Applied Ozone Imager
- nip/TUCK - Trimmed some longer lulls for flow
- Fades - IN/out of set
 
Resample/dithered to 16bit/44.1kHz
----------------------------------------------------------------
Random Notes:
- The long layoff from recording found the engineer a little rusty with the DR680.
While setting levels and mix we noticed that 5 min of the first tune had slipped by
before noticing that PAUSE was still active..., Hence the fade in at the start.
-Sixth show out since Covid induced alienation of the populace but not these 40 
 neighbors. 
(Watch the next two weeks closely... cough, sneeze...)
