Hi, everyone,
I have downloaded a lot of shows from here and I've wanted to give something back for a while,
so here is a matrix I worked up of Wilco's NPR concert on February 27 of this year.
I used Innis Nelson's excellent AUD recording (original 16-bit version is here: http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=513581)
as with my own recording of the streaming webcast of the show.
I know that the webcast is lossy, but I though it provides some immediacy and definition to the lower frequency range of the AUD recording.
As far as I could tell in the FAQ, it complies with Dime's rules.
I retracked it a little bit, and I amplified the higher-frequency end to compensate for the loss in the webcast.
Full details are below.
The recent Chicago residency really reignited my interest in Wilco,
so I hope this will be enjoyed, and I also hope to post a few more matrices of a similar nature in the next few weeks.

WEBCAST source:
NPR Streaming Webcast >> AIFF using Wiretap Studio >> Imported into Audacity
MTX PROCESSING:
Had to adjust timing, so resampled Webcast to 44098Hz
(this synched the audio better with the AUD; dithering was "shaped" option in Audacity) >>
amplified region of 15kHz-20kHz >>
removed portions from the webcast that were faulty, amplified AUD track to compensate then >>
mixed down to single track >>
reimported to Audacity, added track labels *on sector boundaries*, exported to AIFF >>
encoded to FLAC with xACT 1.59, generated fingerprint, md5.
One final note:
I would truly appreciate feedback on how this sounds, as it is my first attempt at making a matrix recording.
Positive comments are welcome and so are negative ones.
Thanks to Innis, and to all the tapers whose work I've benefitted from previously!
