Notes

Depeche Mode's first webcast festival gig of the 2013 - 2014 Delta Machine Tour. The stream was extremely unstable for anybody outside of Belgium (who had access to a stable high-definition stream), and nobody was able to get a flawless capture. To date, no capture of the Belgian HD stream is circulating. This audio is culled from several different sources. Thanks to Ronny, Headstar and ExciterSoul for contributing their recordings and to biashead for completing & remastering the recording.

You can watch this webstream on Vimeo here. I am trying to contact the uploader for their original source.

Remaster notes

  • Dynamic compression, and volume gain in excessively quiet parts (i.e. during "Higher Love" between 1:45 to 1:47)
  • Equalization and harmonics correction
  • Stereophonic soundscape widening

For more specific details:

  1. Steinberg Spectralizer (input gain -7 dB, freq at 4000 Hz with density at 3, 2nd 3rd harmonics and mix at 50%)
  2. Steinberg Leveler input gain at -6 dB
  3. Waves DeEsser (Split mode with highpass sidechain, freq at 8000 Hz and threshold at -40 dB)
  4. Steinberg Spectralizer (input and gain at 0 dB, freq at 2000 with density at 3, 2nd and 3rd harmonics at 50% and mix at 25%)
  5. Waves C1 Compressor (input: -3 dB, Low Ref with +5 dB makeup, threshold: -8 dB, ratio: 3:1, attack: 20 ms, release: 50 ms + Split EQ mode and no LookAhead mode)
  6. Waves MaxBass (default Medium preset with original bass at -4 dB and Maxx Bass at -8 dB)
  7. Steinberg PeakMaster (input: +8 dB, out ceiling: -0.1 dB with Softness at 5.00)

+ soft mastering compression in SonicFoundry SoundForge 6.0 (with its built-in SF Dynamics plugin) and gaining quiet parts between songs and during songs by simple built-in manual graphic fading tool (with my own presets).
