Recording/transfer notes:
Schoeps were split to get the keyboards and the guitar on the left
Percussion was on the R channel Schoeps.
AGKc61 tubes were center stage, XY. The Mackie mix has more AKG/c61
than the Schoeps (aprox 70/30 ratio)

A 16 bit feed was sent to a patch bay (at NN2 for set 1 and NN3 for set 2)
however this source was from the 24 bit 48Hz aux output of the AD2K+.
Additionally,each mic source was backed up to unique DAT decks.

Each track was re-balanced (boost of R channel aprox .8db)
then normalized for peak value before resampling and bit depth conversion.
