Remaster
1. Attenuate clicks, pops, bumps and isolated claps in each source.
2. Match pitch and tonality/EQ given different locations of tapers.
3. Synchonize recordings.
4. Patch missing sections in each recording with the other.
5. Merge both recordings and create stereo image.
6. Correct phasing and center sound.
7. Balance power and dynamics of each channel.
8. Track.

Note:
The PRRP 053 project attempted to optimize the sound of each recording of this show separately for enjoyment on its own. Given different taper locations, that allowed a different listening experience from each recording. This stereo remaster project compared the sound of each to the other and matched the pitch, tone and dynamics with the intention of merging them into a composite recording. Given the enhanced acoustics and the quality of each recording used for this project, the resulting stereo remaster provides a better representation of the true live audio experience.
