Reprocessed all 27 tracks on Jerry Hannan's solo show at Cafe Java from June 17, 1999 (v5→v8), following a full fade-edit re-do — the earlier edit pass was lost to a prepare mishap and has now been redone from scratch, clearing every one of the 14 tracks that previously had clipping verdicts. Opted into the v8 sparse-transient-cap mode from the start; none of the three PRED_TP tracks ("Black Is the Color," "Anna May," "Learn About Love") needed more than a fraction of a dB of recovery, under the threshold where capping is worth attempting, so all three land at their honest linear-reduced targets instead. Three titles restored to the archive's established spelling after the fresh export drifted: "I Need a Lover" to "Hear Me," "I Want to Lean About Love" to "Learn About Love," and the recurring slash/hyphen filename convention on "The Kiss / Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel)." A typo in track 27's filename ("Barney" for "Blarney") was also corrected. — Jerry Hannan · Cafe Java · 1999-06-17 AUD · view data

Reprocessed all 20 tracks on Jerry Hannan's solo show at Cafe Java from May 27, 1999 (v5→v8) — affected by a since-fixed bug in the older workflow that could silently flatten tracks' natural dynamics instead of applying true linear gain. Five tracks land a little short of the full target rather than over-shaved: "Illegal Smile" (−20.3), "Seven Drunken Nights" (−21.0), "Plastic Lemons" (−22.2), "Anna May" (−21.6), and "Open Door" (−21.3). The remaining fifteen tracks reach the full target under true linear gain. — Jerry Hannan · Cafe Java · 1999-05-27 AUD · view data

Opted this show into the v8 sparse-transient-cap mode for the three tracks that landed short of −20 LUFS in tonight's earlier reprocess. "Recycle" and "Getaway Blues" now reach the full target this way, both cleared automatically, no listen required. "Clear Headed" didn't qualify for capping and stays at −20.6. Also re-trimmed a stray trailing space that crept back into "Recycle"'s title when this track was re-drafted. — Mad Hannans · Marin Brewing Co. · 1999-04-01 AUD · view data

Opted this show into the v8 sparse-transient-cap mode for the five tracks that landed short of −20 LUFS in tonight's earlier reprocess. Four now reach the full target this way: "Clear Headed," "Space Cowboy," "Butter," and "Far Away Eyes" — all cleared automatically, no listen required. "Plastic Lemons" didn't qualify for capping and stays at −20.2, a negligible 0.2 dB short. — Mad Hannans · Marin Brewing Co. · 1998-04-01 AUD · view data

Reprocessed all 15 tracks on the Mad Hannans' return to Marin Brewing Co. on April 1, 1999 (v5→v8) — affected by a since-fixed bug in the older workflow that could silently flatten tracks' natural dynamics instead of applying true linear gain. Three tracks land a little short of the full target rather than over-shaved: "Recycle" (−21.0), "Clear Headed" (−20.6), and "Getaway Blues" (−21.2). The remaining twelve tracks reach the full target under true linear gain. Also restored "The Kiss - Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel)" to the archive's established spelling, "The Kiss / Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel)," and trimmed a stray trailing space from "Recycle." — Mad Hannans · Marin Brewing Co. · 1999-04-01 AUD · view data

Reprocessed all 17 tracks on the earliest Mad Hannans show in the archive, at Marin Brewing Co. on April 1, 1998 (v5→v8) — affected by a since-fixed bug in the older workflow that could silently flatten tracks' natural dynamics instead of applying true linear gain. "ABC - Sesame Street" is handled by the applause-only limiter, landing at −20.7. Five tracks land a little short of the full target rather than over-shaved: "Clear Headed" (−21.2), "Space Cowboy" (−21.4), "Butter" (−21.8), "Plastic Lemons" (−20.2), and "Far Away Eyes" (−22.0).

Opted this show into the v8 sparse-transient-cap mode for the five tracks that landed short of −20 LUFS in the earlier reprocess. "Plastic Lemons," "Anna May," and "Open Door" all reach the full target now — the first two had review-tier flags (isolated transients near 0.4–0.45s) that were listened to and approved before capping; "Open Door" cleared automatically, no listen required. "Illegal Smile" and "Seven Drunken Nights" didn't qualify for capping and stay at their honest linear-reduced targets (−20.3 and −21.0). — Jerry Hannan · Cafe Java · 1999-05-27 AUD · view data

Reprocessed all 21 tracks on Jerry Hannan's solo show at 19 Broadway from August 23, 1999 (v5→v8), covering both reels — the clean 14-song main set and the 7-song distorted-reel batch — since both were affected by a since-fixed bug in the older workflow that could silently flatten tracks' natural dynamics instead of applying true linear gain. Two tracks now qualify for the sparse-transient-cap mode, reaching the full −20 LUFS target: "Highway Patrolman" and "Elephant Shoes." "Single Life" is handled by the applause-only limiter (−21.1). Four tracks land a little short of the full target rather than over-shaved: "Dysfunctional Guy" (−20.9), "I Thought I Was You" (−20.7), "Long Black Veil" (−20.3), and "Model Family Man" (−20.2). The remaining 14 tracks reach the full target under true linear gain. The distorted-reel tracks carry known tape-damage artifacts already documented in the show's description — nothing new introduced by reprocessing. — Jerry Hannan · 19 Broadway · 1999-08-23 AUD · view data

Reprocessed all 21 tracks on Jerry Hannan's solo show at Cafe Java from April 29, 1999 (v5→v8) — the whole show was affected by a since-fixed bug in the older workflow that could silently flatten tracks' natural dynamics instead of applying true linear gain. Six tracks now qualify for the sparse-transient-cap mode, reaching the full −20 LUFS target: "Illegal Smile," "Father and Son," "Open Door," "Plastic Lemons," "Woman," and "The Blarney Stone Blues." Six more land a little short of the full target rather than over-shaved: "I Thought I Was You" (−20.3), "Drift Away" (−20.8), "ABC" (−20.1), "Black is the Color" (−20.5), "Nicolai" (−20.1), and "The Parting Glass" (−20.2). The remaining nine tracks reach the full target under true linear gain. Also corrected a title left over from an earlier fix: track 13's filename read "Good Life" instead of the archive's established "The Good Life." — Jerry Hannan · Cafe Java · 1999-04-29 AUD · view data

Reprocessed 10 of the 21 tracks on Jerry Hannan's solo show at Cafe Java from March 25, 1999 (v5→v8) — the tracks affected by a since-fixed bug in the older workflow that could silently flatten a track's natural dynamics instead of applying true linear gain. Seven tracks now qualify for the sparse-transient-cap mode, reaching the full −20 LUFS target: "Truck," "ABC," "The Good Life," "Blind Man," "Luxury of Murder," "Model Family Man," and "The Parting Glass." Three more — "Illegal Smile," "Butter," and "Anna May" — are handled by the applause-only limiter and land a little short of the full target rather than over-shaved (−21.4, −21.6, and −24.5 respectively). The remaining 11 tracks were already correct under the older workflow and were left untouched. Also corrected a title left over from an earlier fix: track 7's filename read "Good Life" instead of the archive's established "The Good Life." — Jerry Hannan · Cafe Java · 1999-03-25 AUD · view data

Reprocessed Jerry Hannan's solo show at 19 Broadway from October 25, 1999 under the new workflow (v8), replacing the show's v5 pass — the whole-show noise reduction from that earlier pass (6dB, sensitivity 5) carries over unchanged. Seven of the twenty-six tracks qualify for the sparse-transient-cap mode, reaching the full −20 LUFS target instead of landing quieter: “The Blarney Stone Blues,” “Learn About Love,” “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” “I Thought I Was You” (the set's second play of the song), “Model Family Man,” “El Paso,” and “Okie from Muskogee.” Two more, “Johnny McEldoo” and “Frosty Weather,” are handled by the applause-only limiter. Five tracks landed a little short of the full target rather than over-shaved: “My Father's House” (−20.3), “Black is the Color” (−21.2), “Anna May” (−20.4), “Angel from Montgomery” (−21.0), and “Hollywood (early version)” (−23.3). — Jerry Hannan · 19 Broadway · 1999-10-25 AUD · view data

Reprocessed 12 of the 29 tracks on Jerry Hannan's solo show at 19 Broadway from June 7, 1999 to the sparse-transient-cap mode (v5→v8) — the archive's first scoped reprocess, touching only the tracks that actually needed it rather than the whole show. The other 17 tracks were already at their loudness target under the older workflow and gained nothing from a fresh render, so they were left untouched. Five capped tracks needed a listen before shipping and all checked out as legitimate music, not defects: “Kilkelly Ireland” (0:20.45), “Butter” (0:39.45), “Everything Reminds Me of You” (3:53.90 and 4:34.50), “Happy Birthday Marco” (0:38.05, overlapping a suspected click already confirmed as music), and “Ted Kennedy Song” (0:02.20). Two more — “Hello in There” and “Hollywood (alt verse)” — initially declined the cap automatically for exceeding the calibrated review band (longer or denser engagement than the original listening evidence covered); after listening, both were given an explicit per-track override (“Hello in There” now reaches the full −20 target instead of −23.7; “Hollywood” recovers to −20.3, just short of full target since it hit the 6 dB attenuation ceiling). One title was corrected: the fresh export's filename read “Come On All You Young Maidens” for track 27, a completely different phrase from the archive's established title “A Bunch of Thyme” (also used on another show, and already named in this show's own description) — kept the established spelling. That track's audio was already at its target from the original v5 pass, so only the local filename needed correcting, not a reprocess. — Jerry Hannan · 19 Broadway · 1999-06-07 AUD · view data

Reprocessed Jerry Hannan's solo show at 19 Broadway from February 1, 1999 under the new workflow (v8), replacing the show's v5 pass — the whole-show noise reduction from that earlier pass (6dB, sensitivity 5) carries over unchanged. Five of the twenty-one tracks qualify for the sparse-transient-cap mode, reaching the full −20 LUFS target instead of landing quieter; a sixth, “The Grey Funnel Line,” stays on the existing applause-only limiter. “Perfect Autumn Day” needed a listen before shipping and checked out as legitimate music. “Hello in There” needed 6.2 dB of recovery, just over the archive's standard 6 dB ceiling; a loudness-matched review of the gap found no meaningful risk at that size, so it was given an explicit one-track exception and now reaches −20.9 instead of the −26.2 it would have landed at otherwise. Two other flagged moments were checked and aren't defects: “Daddy”'s mid-song high-crest window at 1:15 is mic handling noise, not applause or clipping, and is capped along with the rest of the track's transients; “Everything Reminds Me of You”'s suspected click at 2:50.6 is an audience clap, not a digital defect. “Blind Man” has a real gap in the tape around 3:10 that noise reduction and splitting can't repair — flagged on the show page and left for a future Audacity pass rather than papered over. Three track titles carry a guest performer's name in their filename only, matching the archive's existing convention for this show (title stays clean, credit goes in the artist field): “Long Black Veil,” “The Grey Funnel Line” (both with Sean Hannan), and “Drift Away” (with Demir). One title was corrected — the fresh export's filename read “Angel of Montgomery,” the same mechanical typo already caught on another show; kept the established spelling “Angel from Montgomery.” — Jerry Hannan · 19 Broadway · 1999-02-01 AUD · view data

Reprocessed Jerry Hannan's solo show at Cafe Java from April 8, 1999 under the new workflow (v8), replacing the show's v4 pass. Five of the twenty-three tracks qualify for the sparse-transient-cap mode, reaching the full −20 LUFS target instead of landing quieter: “Father and Son,” “Anna May,” “Everything Reminds Me of You,” “Getaway Blues,” and “The Parting Glass.” Two capped tracks needed a listen before shipping and both checked out as legitimate louder musical passages, not defects: “Anna May” at 2:07.7 and “Everything Reminds Me of You” at 2:05.2. One title was corrected — the fresh export's filename read “Angel of Montgomery,” a mechanical typo not used anywhere else in the archive; kept the established spelling “Angel from Montgomery” (also fixed in the show's own description text, which had picked up the same typo). — Jerry Hannan · Cafe Java · 1999-04-08 AUD · view data

Reprocessed Sean Hannan's solo show at 19 Broadway from November 29, 1999 under the new workflow (v8), replacing the show's v6 pass. Eleven of the twenty-one tracks qualify for the sparse-transient-cap mode, reaching the full −20 LUFS target instead of landing quieter. Two capped tracks needed a listen before shipping and both checked out as legitimate music, not defects: “Don't Think Twice It's All Right” and “Free Fallin'.” “The Kiss - Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel)” needed more recovery than the policy's 6 dB ceiling allows; opted into partial capping after confirming the loud moments are music, landing at −20.93 LUFS. One title was restored to the archive's established spelling — “The Kiss / Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel)” — and a stray trailing space trimmed from “Tied Up With a Black Velvet Band.” — Sean Hannan · 19 Broadway · 1999-11-29 AUD · view data

Gave “The Wind” an explicit, one-off exception to the archive's standard 6 dB transient-cap ceiling, reaching the full −20 LUFS target instead of the −22.65 it landed at yesterday. The track's loudest moment (1:37.50, a vocal peak) needs 8.65 dB of recovery — over the usual limit — but a loudness-matched listening test at 6/8/10 dB of cut depth on that exact moment, plus the real full-target render, found no audible difference from the standard treatment. This is a per-track decision, not a policy change: the engine now records the exact ceiling used for every capped track (`policy_max_gr_db`) and flags any track exceeding the standard 6 dB as an explicit `override`, so this exception — and any future one — stays auditable without relying on memory or free-text notes. No other track in the archive is affected; the archive-wide ceiling remains 6 dB. — Jerry Hannan · 19 Broadway · 2001-01-08 SBD · view data

Reprocessed Jerry Hannan's soundboard show at 19 Broadway from January 8, 2001 under the new workflow (v8), replacing the show's v7 pass. Sixteen of the thirty tracks qualify for the sparse-transient-cap mode and two more are handled by the applause-only limiter, together reaching the full −20 LUFS target instead of landing quieter. Nine capped tracks needed a listen before shipping and all checked out as legitimate music, not defects: “My Father's House” (5:20), “Open Door” (1:44.4), “Plastic Lemons” (1:24.9), “Hollywood” (3:07.55), “My Dog” (0:17.75), “El Paso” (3:26.6), “Model Family Man” (2:46.15), “That's The Way The World Goes 'Round” (3:53.2), and “The Parting Glass” (1:03.55). “The Wind” needed more recovery than the policy's 6 dB ceiling allows; opted into partial capping after confirming the loud moments are music, so it lands at −22.65 LUFS instead of −20 — inaudibly quieter, never over-shaved. One title was restored to the archive's established spelling: “Everything” to “Everything Reminds Me of You.” — Jerry Hannan · 19 Broadway · 2001-01-08 SBD · view data

Reprocessed this Mad Hannans set at Sweetwater under the new workflow (v8), replacing the show's v5 pass — the corrective EQ from that earlier restoration pass, brightening this tape's muddy room sound, carries over unchanged. Fifteen of the twenty-two tracks qualify for the sparse-transient-cap mode, reaching the full −20 LUFS target instead of landing quieter. One, “Rocky Road to Dublin,” crossed the auto-clear threshold (1.4% engagement) and needed a listen before shipping — confirmed as audience handclaps, not defects, around 0:25 and 0:35. “Smoke in Heaven” had two similar handclap moments flagged during diagnose, at 0:20.8 and 0:32.5, plus more around 0:35.5 — also confirmed legitimate. Three titles were restored to the archive's established spelling after the fresh export drifted: “I Need a Lover” to “Hear Me,” “Good Life” to “The Good Life,” and “The Kiss - Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel)” to “The Kiss / Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel).” — Mad Hannans · Sweetwater · 1999-05-18 AUD · view data

Reprocessed Jerry Hannan's solo show at 19 Broadway from March 29, 1999 under the new workflow (v8), replacing the show's v2 pass — the last remaining show in the archive on the original engine. This was also the show whose Drive noise-reduction export had gone through two separate upload passes months apart, leaving 34 stale duplicate files from the first pass sitting alongside the final corrected export; those were identified by timestamp and cleared before this run. Twenty-nine of the thirty-four tracks needed help beyond plain linear gain: five are handled by the applause-only limiter and sixteen qualify for the sparse-transient-cap mode, reaching the full −20 LUFS target instead of landing quieter. Three tracks' capped moments were confirmed by ear before shipping: “The Wind” (~1% of the track across several short events, e.g. 0:22.95 and 0:39.75), “The Bold Fenian Men” at 1:22.35, and “Hello in There” at 2:31.30 — all legitimate music, not defects. Two suspected digital defects were also checked by ear and confirmed as music, not clicks: “Blind Man” at 3:07.702 and “The Parting Glass” at 2:52.138. One title was restored to the archive's established spelling — “I Need a Lover” to “Hear Me” — and track 30, freshly retitled “Limerick Medley” from the prior catalog's “Some Get Married for Love,” was confirmed correct by ear rather than by cross-reference, since neither title matched anything else in the archive. — Jerry Hannan · 19 Broadway · 1999-03-29 AUD · view data

Reprocessed this Mad Hannans set at 4th Street Tavern under the new workflow (v8), replacing the show's v2 pass. Two songs, “Soundcheck” and “Rocky Road to Dublin,” qualify for the sparse-transient-cap mode and now reach the full −20 LUFS target this way — both cleared automatically, no listen required. Four track titles were restored to the archive's established spelling after the fresh export drifted: “I Need a Lover” to “Hear Me,” “The Kiss - Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel)” to “The Kiss / Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel),” “Shirt” to “Shirt - ABC,” and a dropped closing parenthesis fixed in “Soundcheck (Football Tonight).” — Mad Hannans · 4th Street Tavern · 1999-05-01 AUD · view data

Reprocessed this Jerry & Sean Hannan set at 19 Broadway under the new workflow (v8), replacing the show's v2 pass. Twenty-one of the thirty tracks needed help beyond plain linear gain: eight are handled by the applause-only limiter (crowd noise, not the music, sets the ceiling), and eleven qualify for the sparse-transient-cap mode, reaching the full −20 LUFS target instead of landing quieter. Four tracks' capped moments were confirmed by ear before shipping: “Soundcheck” at 1:50, “Black is the Color” at 1:30 and 2:15, “Good Life” at 2:57.6, and “I've Just Seen a Face” at 2:00 — all legitimate music, not defects. Four track titles were restored to the archive's established spelling after the fresh export drifted: “Never Knew a Woman” to “Woman,” “Seven Drunked Nights” to “Seven Drunken Nights,” “The Kiss - Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel)” to “The Kiss / Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel),” and a stray double space trimmed from “I've Just Seen a Face.” — Sean & Jerry Hannan · 19 Broadway · 1999-12 AUD · view data

Reprocessed this Mad Hannans set at New George's under the new workflow (v8), replacing the show's v2 pass. Six of the fourteen tracks qualified for the sparse-transient-cap mode and now reach the archive's full −20 LUFS target this way instead of landing several dB quieter, most notably “Anna May” (would have landed at −24.1) and “Butter” (would have landed at −22.4). The fresh export used a different track name than the archive's established title for one song — “I Need a Lover” — restored to “Hear Me” rather than overwritten. — Mad Hannans · New George's · 1999-10-13 AUD · view data

Reprocessed this Mad Hannans set at Sweetwater under the new workflow (v8), replacing the show's v2 corrective-EQ pass — the same restoration EQ, cutting low-mid mud and lifting presence and air on this muddled tape, carries over unchanged.

The fresh hand-edit export used different track names than the archive's established titles for two songs — “I Need a Lover” and “The Kiss - Da Da Da” — restored to “Hear Me” and “The Kiss / Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel)” rather than overwritten. — Mad Hannans · Sweetwater · 2001-01-06 AUD · view data

Reprocessed Jerry Hannan's solo show at 19 Broadway from January 15, 2001 under the new workflow (v8), replacing the show's v7 pass. Twenty-one of the set's thirty-one songs qualified for the sparse-transient-cap mode shipped last night — reaching the archive's full −20 LUFS target instead of landing several dB quieter — while “Woman” stayed on the existing applause-only limiter, where a burst of clapping rather than the music sets the ceiling. The fresh hand-edit export used different track names than the archive's established titles for four songs — “State Trooper,” “Everything,” “Four Leaf Clover Inn,” and “Never Knew a Woman” — restored to “Highway Patrolman,” “Everything Reminds Me of You,” “The Barney Stone Blues,” and “Woman” rather than overwritten. — Jerry Hannan · 19 Broadway · 2001-01-15 SBD · view data

Reprocessed this Mad Hannans set at Cafe Java again, this time under a new workflow (v8) built for tapes where the mic sat close to the drums: a millisecond-scale true-peak limiter now catches only the sharpest instant of an isolated musical transient — a snare hit, a strum — while the surrounding performance keeps its full, untouched gain, letting more tracks reach the archive's −20 LUFS standard instead of landing several dB quieter. Fifteen of the twenty-two tracks qualified and are now capped this way; “Rocky Road to Dublin / Star of County Down” needed more recovery than the policy's 6 dB ceiling allows, so it lands at −21.6 LUFS instead of −20 — inaudibly quieter, never over-shaved. “Truck” and “Anna May” are untouched by this change: both were already correctly handled by an earlier, unrelated fix that limits only audience applause at a track's edges, not the music. Two titles also picked up small spelling corrections back to the archive's established convention: “ABC (alt version)” and “The Kiss / Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel).” — Mad Hannans · Cafe Java · 1999-09-09 AUD · view data

Re-normalized this Mad Hannans set at Cafe Java to −20 LUFS on the current audio engineering workflow (v7), replacing the show's original v1 pass — the last v1 show in the archive. The fresh hand-edit pass applied noise reduction across the show and corrected the song list: what was catalogued as a single 5:39 track, “Everything Reminds Me of You,” is in fact two songs, now split into separate tracks with the second restored as “Hear Me” — so the show runs 22 tracks rather than 21. “My Dear” has been identified as the song the archive lists elsewhere as “Ride On” and retitled to match, and “Plastic Melons” corrected to “Plastic Lemons.” Elsewhere in the archive, two tracks catalogued as “I Need a Lover” have been corrected to “Hear Me,” the song's real title. — Mad Hannans · Cafe Java · 1999-09-09 AUD · view data

Brought four more pre-v4 shows up to the current processing engine (v7) — Jerry Hannan at 19 Broadway on 1999-05-10, 1999-06-21, 1999-07-19, and 2001-01-15 — replacing early loudnorm-based passes that had occasionally fallen back to dynamic-mode compression instead of true linear gain. All four re-split from fresh hand-edit exports and re-verified against R2.

Re-normalized all 21 tracks: the show's original v1 processing had silently hit exactly −20 LUFS and exactly −1 dBTP on several tracks — the same dynamic-mode fallback bug found in other pre-v4 shows — when tracks like "I Need a Lover" and "You're Pulling Me Leg / The Ted Kennedy Song" in fact needed a target as low as −24.7 LUFS to stay linear. Re-split from a fresh hand-edit pass using the current engine. — Jerry Hannan · 19 Broadway · 1999-06-21 AUD · view data

Re-normalized all 30 tracks: the show's original v1 processing used ffmpeg's naive loudnorm, which had silently hit exactly −20 LUFS and exactly −1 dBTP on nearly every track — the signature of the same dynamic-mode fallback bug that flattened Sean Hannan's 1999-11-29 show, since several of these tracks in fact needed a target as low as −28 LUFS to stay linear. Tracks where audience applause — not the music — set the ceiling (Anna May, Luxury of Murder) now get linear gain sized to the music itself, with only the applause gently limited. Also re-split from a corrected label export that fixed a garbled track title and stripped stray junk labels. — Jerry Hannan · 19 Broadway · 2001-01-08 SBD · view data

Re-normalized all 21 tracks: a bug in the loudness pipeline had silently switched several tracks into dynamic (compressor-like) processing instead of true linear gain, flattening hand-drawn fades and room dynamics. Tracks where audience applause — not the music — was the loudest thing on the tape now get linear gain sized to the music itself, with only the applause gently limited. Track 7, "The Rodeo Song," has some audible clipping baked into the source recording — normalization can't undo that, so it's flagged rather than papered over — using the automated audio engineering workflow with ffmpeg — Sean Hannan · 19 Broadway · 1999-11-29 AUD · view data
