2005-04-24 Seattle (an ALD-AUD matrix by Thir13en)11/10/2008 09:05:16 AM

A year ago this week, I shared a concert from this date in Seattle. It's a great performance, and last year's recording was a real blast. Since then, I've acquired another version of that performance. This one, however, is one of Thir13en's matrix remasters. He used an assisted listening device source mixed in with a great audience recording (a different one than what I shared last year). The result is an impressively clear and close sound. As many of you likely know by now, ALD sourced shows often have lots of artifacts and static, because the method to capture them has proven to be more about luck than science. This ALD is no exception, but Thir13en has proven himself numerous times to be very competent. The quality here are a testament to his talents, though you may still notice occasional drops or changes in sound quality (much better than the bursts of static that exists in the unaltered ALD). I do hope that those of you who have already heard another version of this concert will still enjoy this one.

As for overall sound, it is clear. I would say that some of it sounds sterile, because ALD like soundboards don't really capture the audience. The audience is blended in well at various points, but the extremely close presence of Bono's voice (like he's singing into your ear) is either really cool or really cold depending on your live concert recording tastes. The quieter songs in particular leave me with such a feeling of being sung to personally; "Running To Stand Still" for example gave me chills.

Thanks, Jason. i just downloaded and listened to "40" and see what you mean in giving this matrix a big wrap. Really clear sound. This Thir13en's pretty talented.

Much appreciated indeed.
