"I am the
BBC sound mixer who mixed and edited the NEC Birmingham
concert for "R1 in concert". It was produced by Mark Radcliffe
and the broadcast duration was app 58'00".
The concert was recorded from split feeds of the stage sound
sources, vocals, guitars, keyboards, drums etc. Microphones
in the auditorium were used for audience reaction and the
whole lot was then submixed from these 40 odd sources and
recorded onto a 24 track analogue 2" tape machine. The best
performances from the 90 or so minutes recorded were then
chosen by the producer and re-mixed back at the studio a
song at a time. They were then cut / dub edited together
in concert sequence with announcements and applause timed
to last 57 or 58 minutes, which was the length of the "In
Concert" slot (an hour less 2 minutes or so for news and
announcements). 1/4" tape was the final delivery medium.
Nowadays we have digital multitracks, computer editing and
deliver the material for broadcast on CD-R! How times change!"

Notes
From The Recorder:
1. The digital broadcast was faded out about a minute before
the end of Roundabout, so at 7:13' into the track, a cross-fade
edit is made from digital into a master original 1989 analogue
broadcast. This highlights the difference in sound quality
between the 2 sources.
2. Tracks were broadcast in the above incorrect running order.
