Not sure how to introduce this share, but I mixed the recently surfaced XAVEL "IEM" London 1
with the CL audience recording in Adobe Audition CC (see details below).

The matrix can be downloaded with these two MEGA links (just choose "extract all" for un-raring the files):

Part 1: [mega.nz]
Part 2: [mega.nz]

Link for mp3's (slightly different mix for iPod): [mega.nz]

& full res artwork: [mega.nz]

No adds, no pop-up's, no strings attached (and it should be available for long)^

I just hope it is well received!

#mixing & mastering NOTES:
The recently surfaced XAVEL "IEM mixes" are quite astonishing but,
unfortunately (in my opinion), lack the ambient noise typical of live
concerts. Mixing an audience source in seemed like a good idea and not
really that hard to do.

More challenging is the fact that the XAVEL IEM's are already processed
('cooked up,' as my tutor elegantly puts it) with limiters (for sure) &
compressors (likely). And, too, that the only available audience source
is severely compromised by heavy near-by talking ("chat") and screaming.
On the plus side, the audience recording has a very nice bass to add in.

But I like to think that I'm pretty good at cleaning up audience sources
with the "Spectral Repair" option in the iZotope RX05. Mind you, there is
no magic setting here: everything has to be taken out manually. Perhaps
even some more chat could have been taken out, but at some points it's
just hard to do it without noticing (so at some points one already might).

The main challenge for me was to mix the two sources in such a way that a
"best of both worlds" was achieved. The XAVEL has Mick really high in the
mix, whereas Keith and Ronnie are sometimes hard to find.
I was suggested to use a "New York" compression (parallel) on the XAVEL IEM,
in order to better balance the vocals and guitars. So I gave it my best shot
and I think it worked quite well. Then to finish it off, I used some dynamics,
and exciter on the separate sources, and a punch of (stereo) imager in the
final mix. It's not an exact science and all open for interpretation I guess,
but this is my take and I hope you like it

MANY, MANY THANKS to CL for recording, coowouters for sharing and Andrea82 for
liberating the XAVEL boots!

Huge thanks to Sharebear/Hoserama for encouragement and advice (#summerschool18!)

kudos to iorr for being around forever (and allowing me to lurk for so many years...)

I do indeed plan to make a back (and possible cd prints), but that will take some more time.

'...I said we...we are heaven bound...'

Thanks for your work, appreciated your sharing!
I have a question for you..In the future, are you available to help me with iZotope RX05 with my Roger Waters recording? It has a great sound quality, but with some chatting here and there...

thank you!!!!!

It seems I will have to wait until somebody uploads it to another server as I can't download big Mega files.
I can wait, I'm a patience guy!

Would it help if I split it in two files?

My idea was to make it easy accessible for all on iorr. WeTransfer is perfect, but only for a handful of days.

'...I said we...we are heaven bound...'

Great job! It sounds much fuller and has a better oomph than the Xavel feed by itself. Thanks

Yes it would help me and some other members! Another nice gesture from your part!
But it is not necessary...I have the impression that somebody here will upload it to the StonesVault sooner or later... not that I'm pretending it.
Your idea was fine, just my problem here...

Super rubycatgirl !!!

I have not heard much of my Stones collection yet.
But I had to listen to this Complete, it is fantastic!
I myself did not have that idea to do it because I this IEM
Things appreciate. When do you get a monitor recording?

very appreciated rsKinno

Very good work!Thank you!Merci.

Just what it needed, thanks alot............

Thanks! This really makes the show come alive, the original XAVEL mix was too dry and unbalanced but this matrix is very enjoyable.

I've updated my first post. The download is now split into two parts (460 MB & 339 MB ). Hope it's directly accessible to you as well now.

Thank You

[we.tl]

Both mega links in one.

Thank you everyone involved especially Andrea82 for sharing the IEM silvers.

This is simply ace stuff. Thanks abound, rubycatgirl! Your work brings the sterile original IEM to life. Can now be listened to like to an official release. Simply stunning.

Awesome, just started DL them...hoping Mick is lower, he's way way too high in the mix on the XAVEL boot.

Thank you Joyce and Andrea82 :-)

Thanks a lot! Great job. Merci beaucoup.
Hervé

Joyce - thanks for your generosity and wizardry in creating and sharing this matrix - I look forward to listening to it

Fantastic work!!!
