I took your file (Jailhouse Rock+We Will Rock You fast) and applied an eq curve to it after counterchecking with several sources and the 1977 BBC recording of the song. And then I listened and changed, listened and changed ... till it sounded good. The values I posted are the EQ values for the Audacity EQ preset xml file. Search for it and then paste the values to it. After that you can find it in the Equalizer preset menu. Or just take the screenshot and try to copy the adjustments from there.
I compared your matrix to Pittrek's, and in my opinion yours sounds slightly better (after equalizing) - though this can be based on personal opinion, the headphones I used, and I only compared WWRY (fast). In Pittrek's matrix the bass is more diffuse and sounds a bit distorted, which has an effect on the voice parts and guitar too. In Pittrek's matrix the higher frequencies are at least as clear as in your version. Both versions suffer from a wandering stereo base, which can't be repaired without extremely tedious work. It seems that you did very well in matching the different sources. Or is WWRY (fast) only one source? I can't hear any echo effects or "washed-out" dynamics in your edit.

I went testing, and seems to listen better, "We will rock you fast" and "Let Me Entertain You." I will continue investigating tomorrow (Since they are 3 in the morning in my country :S ), thank you very much for the advice.
With respect to whether one or two sources: For they are two sources, I take about 5 months to find the perfect speed to just not go out "echo" or "washed out", call me thorough or insane xD, but I wanted to stay as perfect as possible .
PD: Mediafire Link available

I never tried to do a matrix, because I can imagine how difficult it is. With equalizing you get a decent result on most recordings in short time, but of course that's not all you have to do to get a "perfect" result. Noise reduction, removal of errors, stereo separation etc. cost a lot more time, that's why I'm satisfied with a "quick 90% improvement", if I do my own amateur "remasterings". My EQ on your matrix is only a suggestion for such a "quick 90% improvement", and if you take your time, you will get nearer to 100% for sure.
Anyway, the most important factor is to use the optimum source recordings!

Now I tried your way of equalization (although using sound forge), and really noticed an improvement in the sound, or at least is now more balanced and richer are low, although a little lower down.
I'll take it into account and evaluated, but for now, leave the songs as well, as all have a similar treatment, it will only reach and implement equalization.
PD: Soon ... "Somebody To Love"

It seems that I have to use another source console "Somebody To Love" as the source of VHS DVD Audio 1979 "Crazy Tour" stinks, has a lot of saturation, and eliminate the noise saturation significantly decreases quality .
Anyway, let a sample of this combination, pending if I get a better sound source. I was told there that the video version at 320x240 and WMV format, but has worse image quality (due to its low resolution), has better sound quality than the DVD version of VHS-HQ, will inquire about it. If anyone knows a better source of sound even, I would be very helpful.

I made two versions of Somebody To Love, the first climb comes without the problem of saturation of voice. But the sound is something "frugal." The second version comes as they've been tuning the other songs. (Soon)

Here is the second version, but unfortunately it was impossible to improve the sound without the hum of saturation characteristic of the VHS source.

Change of plans. Given that the source of the sound that I have audio console is not of good quality, he decided to get out another version DVD of that concert, which although has less image quality, has better audio quality.
Asi probably see soon improvement versioning published songs but delayed launching new songs for now.
And that is not yet "final" version of we will rock you

The second clip needs more bass IMHO

Yes, a big problem with the "matrix", but fortunately it is solved by setting the audio player equalizer. However, working with the equalizer was much easier to merge if decreased the low audio console.
Anyway, I'll keep in mind, I make a revision "2.0", with the new audio version of the concert that I'm down (I lack the torrent seeds)

Bad news, due to university exams, I can not continue working until the summer (northern hemisphere winter)

A beta version, enhanced stereo (taking into account that there is only mono console versions), low noise, equalized perfectly.
I think the way forward, I'm amazing "dont stop me now."
Review and enjoy!

sounds kind of distorted. Something isn't right with the synching or the enhanced stereo.
