    does sound amazing, His voice still in decent shape, so it may be let out on occasion
  5. WOW, what an recording is this, one of the best ever. Respect to the artist who create this! And also a great performance by U2! Bono's voice was from heaven that show. The band was on fire.

  6. It sounds fucking fabulous Thanks for spending so much time doing it.

    I think that your "scratch mixes" are perfectly suited for wide consumption -mostly nobody would notice the "other" 15% that would cost you hundreds of hours more- and I congratulate you for fighting your inner perfectionist. Thanks again.
  7. yep, best thanks
  8. Hoserama is a nice hoarder

    Great energy and passion here
  11. I get your point, I really do. It just doesn't stick that long!

    I mix for my ears first and foremost. On a few occasions, I've done some projects for other folks or for a release project (see the 5/15/15 Vancouver2 multicam). But in general, the recording is mixed first, and then a release decision is made indepedently. The scratch mixes were shortcuts--biggest shortcut was the sloppy method I used to get rid of the counts. And then I didn't spend all the extra time dialing in the final automation that would have taken several weeks.

    If I throw on some of those scratch mixes, I have to mentally prepare myself to lower my standards. I can HEAR the shortcuts and sloppiness.

    (but man, I'll take those scratch mixes over a lot of the 2017 iem/aud bootlegs. ugh. that's another rant for another time)

    I've gone away from doing scratch mixes. I've run off a handful of "quick mixes" (more self-created hoserama mixing lingo) which were basic mixes usually created the night of the show before going to bed. I've gotten better/faster at doing some of the other work, so there's only one show I did that would truly qualify as a scratch mix (and that had no AUD or count removal). Beyond that, I've gone back to doing full show mixes like the Vancouver release I did. Up to about 9 shows in that fashion so far.

    So the inner perfectionist has won out
  12. Hoserama, thank you for the jewel you gave us. I had a nice listening this afternoon. Soundwise I even like it more than the Paris BD rip. The setlist is also a nice extra gift.
