Taper Notes:

View NotesThe only processing was a little bit of equalization with DC8.5 Forensics to counter the distance 
from the stage. I rolled the bass off slightly below 100 hz to cut down on the boominess, 
increasedthe midrange and treble slightly, and used two virtual valve simulators to clarify the 
instruments a bit more.
