Notes: There is a loud crackling noise at 2:40 and 2:48 in d1t8 when someone bumped the recorder....
Sounds pretty good for the stealth rig stuck to a pole with velcro tape except for some hiss which is really only bad during the quiet parts....some equalization was done in Audition 1.5* see geek note

geek note:
this was transfered from md>sony music studio5>wav>Adobe Audition 1.5(at this point parametric eq(hum cancel) and notch filter(a narrow one at 10.5 kHz) were applied and blended together with the unprocessed signal by 33% each)

this time ( this is a repost ) in cd wav i cut out about 3 minutes of dead air and left the between song banter on the end of the tracks.the intro to a song is sometimes on the end of the preceding track.
