Original Changes Made (Nero 7) to original remaster http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=175055

Swapped over reversed L & R channels on first 2 tracks of each disk
Cross-mixed tracks (70:30)
- improves extreme channel balance, instrument clarity and noise

Further V2 changes (Nero 8 unless indicated):

Corrected phase offset of -0.03msec
Clip restoration and fixing of too high levels in parts of Disk 1 (Audition 3)
Further cross-mixing (ratio 98:2)
Gentle low-setting NR, reduces mainly hum but also actually improves sound quality
Removed the silence / gaps between tracks 04 & 05, concert is continuous for those with digital streamers
Fixed the small glitches between other tracks on disk 1
Combined tracks for editing, then re-tracked to avoid SBEs
NO EQ, compression or other sound enhancements used, just fixing more recording deficiencies.

The original remaster has been on the tracker for more than 2 years and 1285 downloads, but since then I've learnt to use other tools and have been able to improve it further. The music sounds louder (despite no level or other sound enhancing changes), there is more bass, Cobham's drums have more punch and there is more depth (emotion?) to the sound of this great music.

IMHO the best just got better...Enjoy !!

V1 Remaster Notes >>>

The original sounds great, but with un-naturally wide stereo image with solo instruments
hard left or right and appears to have had some stereo broadening some time in the chain,
plus channels were swapped over on some of the tracks.

All that was easy to fix and now it sounds quite superb, almost CD quality, so here it is
by request of several Dimers in another recent MO post...

...Enjoy !!
