finished....U`Tubed DVD is now completed...details to follow...too tired to post them all now...

audio has been a real pain...we managed to notch the EQ balance on a 40band unit..this has given a much better balance to the sound...although it never going to be perfect due to the original sources...we managed to combine various mixes using a combination of multitracks and filters...we have also added crowd noise to boost the ambient freq`s...overall its the best we can get it...once again thanks for all who have tried with this audio..its a shame the band do not release soundboard mixes...maybe one day!

basic contents are:
the complete 14th show.
edited 15th show plus 12 extra songs and a mini documentary.

i will give all the details tomorrow for the cover design...credits etc...

Now...dont take this the wrong way...because without you guys this DVD would not be possible...but..um...although the footage supplied was very helpful..we could not actually use it as for some reason the mp4/mts/mkv files would crash our software...so after many attempts to run it we had to replace all the footage as most would have issues..and to rule out which ones we decided to delete them all...it kinda means that the 14th has actually been edited twice!...the issue was not with editing the files it was with the final render, the software would simply give a `out of memory` error..and as we had the whole gig edited we did not want to delete it..so we spent a further few days looking for codecs to be able to handle the files and also we tried to frameserve out of our editing into other packages...same results!.....so whilst i must say thank you, can i also say its been a real hard slog....u2 have a large setlist!.....seriously its no probs your intentions were all good.

audio....alot of time has been spent listening to the audio mixes supplied..along with the double edit i can honestly say i hope U2 do not bring out an album this year...i`m kinda `u2`ed` out!!!....whilst the audio has been a help it has also taken alot of time and alot of listening...we decided to use a EQ mix we had done...many thanks for your efforts and for giving us some great mixes, your time has been a real help....i think we managed to included the mix you did pre-xmas, this has been taken down but used for high end as it was the clearest version, we also eliminated all the boom and increased crowd levels at the right moments!...

watched the DVD in full tonight....as with all productions when you watch it back in full it comes together, we hope we have captured some of the band`s energy and delivery of songs to do them justice!...some songs work, some as usual you wish you could cut up abit more...but for the sake of time...you gotta draw the line!...

right now the good part...as with the 15th demo`s you get to choose...pick any four songs from the 14th and i`ll post them up tomorrow night (thurs)...count up is at 7pm.
DVD will be avaliable in the next few days, just sorting the menu`s and navigation.
MrInxs will recieve 4 copies free...i would hope he would post 3 of them to: Arnoud/u2biggestfan/admin here...also feel free to upload...(each DVD will be 4.3gig approx)
we have enough posting to do!.....plus it was his idea!

i`ll post up some details and the demo`s requested tomorrow...now i must sleep...
