Toledo: Saturday Night

August 18, 2020 | Music

Let's first explain the phenomenon "Matrix Recording". A Matrix recording mix is a cunning mix of soundboard/multitrack recordings with audience recordings.  Sometimes soundboard recordings can sound dull. The main reason for this is that the sound engineer probably wanted to catch one particular aspect of the performance. This can be the singing voice of the artist, or one of the instruments. These soundboard recordings can miss a of of the ambiance that the spectators were experiencing.   An audience recording mostly never sounds dull but the quality of the singing voice of the artist is obviously of lesser sound quality. But mixing these two creates a whole new magic. Now you can enjoy the shows as if you were there!  

Available now are the April 23, 1977 & April 24, 1977 show in a matrix mix.

All of a sudden we have to become sound engineers to appreciate an Elvis release?
