Hello braindamaged listeners... I figured I'd pop in and give a little update just in case you are wondering where/when the podcast is... It's in the works and has been for a while... I am considering posting something in the meantime but I'm so immersed in what I'm currently doing, its hard to think of something else. Anyway... During the Holiday break I was given a recording of a Floyd gig from the taper himself. Funny thing too is I met the taper at the exact spot where it was recorded 22 years ago. That's a hint by the way... His recording is really good, with little crowd noise but had a lot of hiss. Not long after, I found another recording of the same gig but the sound was much better but had crowd noise and two very wasted girls nearby. After listening to each intently, I discovered that one recording picked up particular sounds that the other didn't and vice versa. I know the venue very well (there's another hint) and I can tell where each taper was located just from listening...but anyway, it got me thinking how it would sound if I put the two together. So that’s what I've been working on. I already remastered both but more so with the better sounding of the two and I'm using the lesser one as an ambient filler if you will. The process of syncing the two recordings is very tedious due to the recordings being at different speeds and to top it off the speed shifts throughout the lesser recording making the process even more difficult. The result however dramatically adds to the atmosphere. I can't wait to finish it. Thanks for your patience! Doc Comments[22]

- I am a Pink Floyd fan from years back. I am now 70 years old. I have a big complaint about this Web Site. I have extreme difficulty READING IT. My eyesight is not good. I know how to enlarge the text on the screen, but the text is grey on black. WHY?
I know it might be a lot of work for you, but we oldies should be considered.
Thanks. - I fully understand the process to mix two tracks of a same event but different sources, I did with some recordings and is definitely very complex, takes many hours of work, especially when the tapes have different speeds. Uses the time required to get the best quality in the result. I appreciate the effort to present this material. I will patiently wait the next podcast.
