RUSH In Rio HD - “YYZ“ - Live In Brazil 2002 - Audio & Video Remaster - 1080p 60fps

This DVD has been my biggest challenge yet in terms of finding a way to improve it. It is one of my least watched Rush DVD’s and it’s a known fact that there were some issues recording this show and it’s a miracle it was recorded at all. As a drummer a big reason why I don’t watch the original much is the drums came out really weird, thin, clicky and almost MIDI sounding, so the only way I was going to tackle Rio was if I could improve that. Long story short, I found a way to extract the drums, duplicate them, use various effects on the additional track to try and add missing frequencies and ambience lost in the original mix. Additionally I tried to remove all crowd noise from the rear surround channels and what I found under that was some of the drum ambience / overhead mic audio, so I also tried to smooth it out and layed that on top of everything, among other various things I did with the audio like making a new stereo mix from the DTS-HD Bluray disc I own with less intense crowd noise and
