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

Editing done in 32bit/48kHz realm:
---------------------------------------------------------
- Mixing & EQ - mixed M10 -6dB under DPA and dropped mids -5dB for music.*
- Mastering - Audition subtle clarity effect: Touch reverb. 3% tube style 
  excitation, 3% loudness maximizer bump 
- nip/TUCK - trimmed some banter and longer lulls.
- Scrubbing - spent time cleaning the whistler...
- Fades - IN/out of sets

Random Notes:
* M10 was moved to a spot in front of the overhead PA so as to pull
  a direct source for Lewis's parts with separate EQ.
