Endless, endless thanks to the Taper – this nearly if not completely miraculous AR wouldn’t exist for us to enjoy without his bravery and expertise, then and now.

When the cheaper speakers begin to fart, remember - it's a true audience sound capture :]

REMASTER SUMMARY:

Pitch/Tempo naturalization and EQ work to reveal - not mix - existing detail in CEP 2.0 and Izotope Ozone. No noise reduction attempted. Extensive detail below can be read or skipped as preferred, but I will have no mercy on any complainers who have not read it [I will know] ;}
