source 1 (show split into 16 tracks):
Source: radio station satellite feed > Tascam DA-30mkii > Audiomedia III > PowerMacG4 > Pro Tools
CD > SHN via Plextor 12x4x32

source 2 (show split into 14 tracks):
Source: pre-FM SBD/AUD Matrix > DAT > CDR > SHN

this is from the u2 show at Irving Plaza 2000-12-05

4 questions:
1. Does anybody know which source is better??
2. Would either be allowed on this tracker??
3. Is source 1 pre FM??
4. I have source 2, if source 1 is better, does anobody have it to seed here (or on U2torrents if its not allowed here)??

looks to me like both initial sources may be the same. if the source 1 taper had the DA-30 at the station pulling the satellite feed before it was broadcast than its a pre FM just like source 2. If the source 1 taper was at the house recording it than its really just an FM source and source 2 should be the better of the two. If you already have source 2 i would stick with that since the way I see this is at best source 1 is = to source 1.....

source 1 sounds to me like a post-broadcast recording of satellite radio

(that'd make source 2 better, btw)

the preFM should be better with more frequency response in the highs

You would also probably like to know what was done in Protools with the first one. It could have levelled up the show a good bit depending on what was done - it also seems that the tracks were split better. Personally I would go for source 1 as it probably is a better listening experience. But that's just me. :cool:

thanks for the answers, and info.

after this discussion I forgot to upload it until now. It is here:

from what I was told by users on u2torrents, this is the better version.
