MoonMTX - February 2023

SBD Source came down the pike, so I found a 48khz Audience recording at SHNFLAC to marry with it.  Both sources have their issues, but the product is well worth it imo.  (Some intermittent static in the AUD source, and a whole 3min chunk of SBD at the end of "Temporary Saint" had to be discarded for major irrecoverable glitching) Also had to excise a small piece of "Schoolgirl" SBD for the same reason.

I spent no fewer than 20hrs this week syncing up these two waveforms in Audacity. Hiccups and missing sections of AUD had to be identified and corrected.  every few minutes there was drift in the AUD that required tempo adjustments to keep the signals clean and aligned.

Interestingly, the AUD source had the cleaner spectrogram, but the SBD contributes more DR per the initial report. In the end, we have a robust combo of SBD/AUD.  Woody's Bass is absolutely thunderous.  Matt Abts drumming is clear as a bell and on point as always.  The OG Trio puts on a sweaty 2hr set that is not to be missed.  Get Behind the Mule!!
