The Lollapalooza info and chat thread

[H&H]

Maybe. I'm still tweezing on it. The crowd around me was kind of noisy, so I need to dial down some of the loud claps and yells so I can bring the music up more. I've been looking to see if any other versions would surface but so far none have. It makes me wonder if I was the only one who recorded the show..! The recording quality was excellent as well! I was right in front of the PA columns on Tony's side about 15 yards back from the barricade.

I also recorded the show. I did not record Paranoid, but have everything else. I have not had any time at all to listen to it, but need to go through it and see if it turned out OK. I used a Tascam pocket MP3 recorder. I would love to talk to you about what software you are using to clean up the recording. The crowd was very energetic by me, so my guess is I have a lot of crowd noise on it, and would love to get rid of that if possible.

I use Soundforge for most of my editing and tweezing. As far as "cleaning up" the recording, there is only so much that can be done with a recording like this. What I'm doing is taking the individual "claps" in some of the cuts, isolating them individually and lowering the claps in volume level so that I can normalize the file up to 0 db, which I can't do with the loud claps peaking out the file. When you stop to consider the sheer number of claps in some of these songs, it gets tedious really quickly. It's like the audio equivalent of micro surgery, tedious, time consuming and precise.

Listening to some recordings now. Ozzy doesn't sound too bad on NIB, not nearly as bad as people are saying. I don't really expect Ozzy to sound that great anymore. When I see Sabbath (and I know I will one day-I will never give up hope) I'll be gonig in expecting Ozzy to sound about how he did at Lollapalooza.

I think it was technical issues because Ozzy was on fire his last solo tour and that was not long ago at all. We were all suprised by this on this very forum.

Yep, whole thing start to finish, only missing about 20 seconds of the drum solo to switch mini discs. I listened to some of the rough working version in the car today. It came out excellent! The bottom end on it really thunders!

Sounds great! Maybe you could share it?
