And one more for the weekend!
2017-07-30 Amsterdam Arena 2 - Under A Sky Of Steel And Glass
(remaster of one8ung's recording @ 16/44.1 lossless flac)
I have actually been working on this since, what?, last Tuesday I guess, when I asked one8ung's permission
to convert his 24-bit (48kHz) recording of Amsterdam 2 into a more convenient 16-bit 44.1kHz to be shared on u2start.
Possibly even with an iZotope RX05 de-clap & clean-up treatment. The sample I sent seemed to be convincing,
and now the remaster is ready.
More from my notes under the spoiler tag:
Spoiler (click to toggle) Personally I am very happy with one8ung's recording with the Ca-11 omni's -
according to someone at dime "a daring attempt," since the Amsterdam Arena (at
some point in time to be named: Johan Cruyff Arena) is notorious for having an
annoying echo. But the recording came out surprisingly well, catching a great sound
from the speakers and some wonderful community singing by the crowd. And I was even
more surprised when I learned that one8ung made his recording from a 2nd ring seat
in the back of the stadium! But what did I know? I was dancing my ass off in the pit!
Anyway, as to be expected, besides the incredible U2, the CA-11 omni's picked up
some severe screams and whistles, as well as the usually clapping and neighbour chat.
Apart from some chat between songs, most could be eliminated with iZotope's "Spectral
Repair." I applied some equalization to turn down the (sub) bass and slightly boost
presence (3600-8400 Hz range) – something that can be easily adjusted by using the
treble and bass controls if one finds my mix a bit "too much," or "too little."
THANKS again to one8ung and his daring, but fortunate choice for using the CA-11 omni's!

Originally posted by BigGiRL:The latest addition is the 2017-05-21 Pasadena CA - Rose Bowl "Bono-iem," as recorded by Blackout and brought to u2torrents with a "Share freely - no mp3" clause.
It is thus shared in lossless flac but I did, however, convert the (upscaled) 24 bit flacs back to 16 bit for a more convenient file size.
I have rated this 4.5 stars, but I'm really no expert, nor a big fan of iem's in general. I always miss the crowd & concert "atmosphere," or "ambiance" as we say in Europe.
But having that said, apart from some counting at the start of songs and that funky click-track (or what is it?) sound, Bono's voice is amazingly clear and this iem also has the benefit of having a "stereo audience mic feed" mixed in (Blackout notes).
Blackout mentions that SBS has 3 skips, but I also found one in ISHFWLF (@3.21). So that's why I took 0.5 off
Remy probably thinks I'm too picky on this...and I'm sure that he will value this Bono-iem for it's true value
(if you see the rating suddenly go up, you know who's behind the controls )
BIG THANKS to Blackout
and on behalf of the entire u2start crew...
ENJOY

If only they had switched for a guitar version of Red Hill...

P.D: I found "Dry mix" version, but I think it sounds different....
