Sony D8 line out> PC line in (EAC record wav, tracking + edits)> DC ART (notch and noise filter)>
Cool Edit Pro ( Hiss filter + Pop click filter + EQ) > Harbal 2.0 WAV > FLAC

Many , Many hours to make this. If is not the best !! For some reason this was recorded with very low levels. The dial was bumped and set just above 0. Resulted in poor recording with hi hiss. I went through the IEM and applied filters. There was plenty of static or pops so I did my best to adjust or silence them. This has a mix of
great parts (when edge was playing guitar and singing) and a few parts in the quiets songs where the sound was weak. I made adjustments the best I could.
In is some cased between songs or during Bono speech the hiss has take over, so I manually lowered the volume to try and smooth out the sound.

I did my best to make a poor recording more listen able. It is what it is. Through trial and error I kept trying to take out too much hiss. I ended up with a "happy" medium. and a B-- quality.

2011-07-08 - Montreal - Taper: boyerlaurier - Creative JB3/Sound-Pro Mics

U2
Hyppodrome de Montreal,
2011-07-08

The gears: Creative JB3 recorder at 44 khz, Sound-Pro Mics, battery box set at 107hz bass roll-off. Normalized in SoundForge, split with CDWave, FLAC level 8.

I think this is an excellent recording, which gets much better after a couple of songs.

Well, what to say...a fantastic concert, which matched the hype. Glad they played so much of Achtung Baby :-)

Notice the a-cappela version of The Beatles' Rain, as a thunderstorm hit the 80 000 + crowd just as the band finished the last song.
