Seed Notes:
First off, I'd like to give a huge thanks to Mike DeMartino for getting me these 2nd generation CDR's to work with.  This show needed some better circulation!

These discs are not quite perfect, there are some noticeable dropouts and pops here and there.  In swapping emails with Mike DeMartino, here's what I've learned about them:

"As for the shows, you will probably need to edit some portions of 3.2.2000.  There was a few micro drop-outs during some of the songs.  It may have happened three to four times.  We ran a homemade amplified splitter that Mike Rhamy brought for the run and only realized later that it was causing some ill effects on our tapes"

As far as I know, all SBD copies of this show, minus JonO's, will have these issues since they were run out of Mike Rhamy's splitter.  I've tried to clean up as many of them as I can, but some (like the one in Latinissmo) are just too big to do anything about without a source to patch from.

Aside from that, this show is *fantastic*.  March 2000 was a great season for this band and their fans...

The following is a more detailed explanation of the processing I performed on the wave files to prepare them for circulation.

1. Extract the audio from the CD's Mike sent me (Secure Mode, see EAC Logs)
2. Use Soundforge 7 to merge all the tracks together into 2 single set files.
3. Use WaveLab's "Change Gain" feature to boost the levels up from a peak of (-6.05dB) to (-0.28dB)
4. Use WaveLab to add fades to the beginning and end of each set.
5. Clean up a bunch of pops using a combination of WaveLab and Soundforge.
6. Eliminate some of the repeated banter caused by transferring with a Standalone. (the old end of disc 1 concluded with the band thanking Ben Kline, while disc 2 began with the same exact thanks since the DAT was rewound a few seconds to transfer set 2.  Same thing between Shine and Jellyfish in Set 2)
6. Use CD Wave to add the new splits.
7. Verify the files were cut on sector boundaries with SHNtool (output pasted below)
8. Compress the show into level 8 FLAC's, and add ID tags to the files with WinAmp.
