Soundtrack Notes

These are mixed from multichannel recordings made by Freeman Z, the event sound engineer.

The original recordings are up to eight channels, mixed down to one mono product. They are intended for use as a video soundtrack.

High value was given to allowing the audience response to sound loud and full. Clapping likely to be seen by the lectern mic, (I have no visual reference for any video that exists.) is also included when possible, in order that no action in the video becomes oddly silent.

Adjustments include: equalization (to remove house ringing,) reduction or removal of “p-popping” and other plosives, removal of (lots of) mic handling noise, useless open channels, and other tweaks the editor’s video experience suggested. “Umms and ahs” can’t be removed while retaining synchronization, but many were lowered.
