Notes:



All monitoring was done on Event 20/20bas monitors and AKG/Sony headphones.



Some crowd noise removed to make it fit on 2 CD's. 



Since this was recorded and transferred in mono, I had to make it stereo during mastering.  Overall the recording sounded pretty good, a bit boomy in the bass  and harsh in the upper midrange but all the eq'ing was minimal to correct this.



Once in Vegas, I drew in automation for the volume to smooth out changes in the PA and my drunken ass hands touching the input volume.  There was no clipping, just low levels in a few spots.



Waves 3.5 Mastering plugins were used to tweak the recording-the chain went EQ->Compressor->TrueVerb->Limiter.



EQ:

Type	Gain	Freq	Q

HP	-18	42	60

BP	+1.5	61	9

BP	-1.5	101	7

BP	-2.0	174	20

BP	-1.0	3000	20

BP	-2.0	4861	20



HP=Highpass, BP=Bandpass



The compressor and limiter were setup so neither one reduced gain by more than 3dB-This resulted in no artifacts from the compression and no hard clipping from the limiter, just a solid gain increase without sacrificing bandwidth.  The reverb was used very sparingly, only 10% mix.  Small club was used with an increased diffusion and lowered pre-delay.  Really it was more to convert the mono signal to Stereo than anything else...



Enjoy!
