Neither recording was really good enough to post on its own.  The aud was from the very back of the room, beyond the reach of the PA system, and the SBD feed came from 2 auxes instead of a L/R, so the levels of each channel were basically guessed.  There is also some low-level noise in Jeff's guitar channel (or a bad noise gate on the floor tom, I'm not sure) at times.  The combination of the 2 sounded good but required some effort...

As is the case every time I use 2 different recorders to do this, the 2 recordings do not line up perfectly over the course of the whole show, so the aud was cut into pieces & re-assembled to minimize the effect of the drift.  It works quite well, but there are a few instances where you might hear what sound like tiny glitches...that's where an adjustment happens.  Overall it's not bad & definitely beats the alternative.

Here's to more TSB in 2013! Go out & see them (and record!)!!
Enjoy!!
