An excellent matrix recording of an in-ear monitor feed and two audience recordings. Tracks 3, 4, and 5 include partial IEM in the matrix because of issues with the recording. As a result, they sound somewhat inconsistent overall because the audience recording fills in the gaps.
An excellent matrix recording created from an in-ear monitor feed and two audience recordings. Notably, Tracks 3, 4, and 5 only include partial in-ear monitor (IEM) audio due to recording challenges, resulting in some inconsistency. The audience recording steps in to fill the gaps, creating a good but occasionally uneven listening experience.


Click track has been removed where feasible, but a click here and there is still occasionally heard, and there is a hi-hat guide track during [[My Cosmos Is Mine]] and [[Wagging Tongue]] heard before the kick drum starts. Some songs also have a tiny bit of cowbell guide heard in some spots.
Efforts have been made to remove the click track where possible. However, it may still be audible here and there, and a hi-hat guide track accompanies [[My Cosmos Is Mine]] and [[Wagging Tongue]], just before the kick drum begins. Some songs feature subtle cowbell guide sounds in certain sections.


Starting with the last third of [[It's No Good]], the IEM recording becomes stable and the rest of this recording becomes consistent sounding.
From the latter part of [[It's No Good]] onward, the IEM recording stabilizes, ensuring a consistent sound for the remainder of the concert.


To allow a customized version of this recording, three bonus versions of [[It's No Good]] are included if you wish to eliminate the audience/partial IEM tracks for your own listening version: one which fades-in at the beginning of the IEM portion at the last third of the song where the consistent IEM joins the mix; the next is the same but without the fade-in; and one which is pure audience up until the consistent IEM begins. Additionally, if you dislike the inconsistency of the other partially IEM matrixed tracks but still want to have a complete recording, you can swap in the "audience only" tracks from either [[2023-12-17 Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, CA, USA/Source 2|Source 2]] (which is a matrix of just the two audience sources) or [[2023-12-17 Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, CA, USA/Source 3|Source 3]] ('''[[User:DMLiveWiki|DMLiveWiki]]''''s recording).
For those seeking a tailored experience, three bonus versions of [[It's No Good]] are provided. These options allow you to exclude audience/partial IEM tracks for your listening copy.


Immense thanks to '''bias''' for his countless hours spent on creating this matrix, and many thanks to '''fried_morals''' and '''Anonymous''' for recording [[2023-12-17 Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles, CA, USA/Source 4|Source 4]] and the IEM recording, respectively.

Notes

An excellent matrix recording created from an in-ear monitor feed and two audience recordings. Notably, Tracks 3, 4, and 5 only include partial in-ear monitor (IEM) audio due to recording challenges, resulting in some inconsistency. The audience recording steps in to fill the gaps, creating a good but occasionally uneven listening experience.

Efforts have been made to remove the click track where possible. However, it may still be audible here and there, and a hi-hat guide track accompanies My Cosmos Is Mine and Wagging Tongue, just before the kick drum begins. Some songs feature subtle cowbell guide sounds in certain sections.

From the latter part of It's No Good onward, the IEM recording stabilizes, ensuring a consistent sound for the remainder of the concert.

For those seeking a tailored experience, three bonus versions of It's No Good are provided. These options allow you to exclude audience/partial IEM tracks for your listening copy.

  • One with a fade-in at the beginning of the IEM portion, including only the last third of the song from where the consistent IEM begins.
  • The IEM portion of the song without the fade-in.
  • A pure audience version until the consistent IEM segment begins.

Additionally, if you prefer to eliminate the inconsistency in other partially IEM matrixed tracks while maintaining a complete recording, you can substitute the "audience only" tracks from either Source 2 (a matrix of the two audience sources only) or Source 3 (DMLiveWiki's recording).

Immense thanks to bias for dedicating countless hours to creating this matrix, and heartfelt thanks to fried_morals and Anonymous for their contributions in recording Source 4 and the IEM portion, respectively.

For those interested, an audience matrix of DMLiveWiki's and fried_morals's audience recordings can be accessed at Source 2.

Both individual audience recordings utilized in this matrix are available separately as Source 3 (DMLiveWiki) and Source 4 (fried_morals), respectively.
