Led Zeppelin - The Overture/The Rain Song [October 3rd, 1972]

Описание: Led Zeppelin live at Budokan Hall in Tokyo, Japan - October 3rd, 1972

This is a three-source audience matrix of the second-ever live performances of these two songs. It uses a combination of sources 5 and 11 as the center "anchor" of the mix. Source 5 takes everything below 1800hz, while source 11 takes everything above 1800hz. Source 8 is also used for the left and right sides of the stereo image.

It also utilizes AI audio separation, similar to the MAL de-mixing technology used in recent Beatles releases. I've used it here to bolster the punch of the drums, and to bring Robert Plant's vocals more to the forefront of the mix.

Living Reflections is perhaps my most experimental project to date. It is an LP-length live album featuring hand-picked selections from all across Led Zeppelin's touring years. What makes this project unique is that all of these tracks are matrix mixes of ONLY audience recordings. There are no soundboard recordings featured in this project. This is a first for this channel.

Although the sound fidelity of this project is a step or two behind the usual, I consider this perhaps my proudest achievement to date. It's been slowly brewing since 2021, and it's taken many forms and trajectories, and been subjected to years of tinkering, before settling into this finished product. I hope you enjoy.
