that massive file at the bottom is what i've been looking for and what has been confusing me whenever i've tried to do this for years. it's synced perfectly with the rabit version, indicating that it's a clean early mix. the volume captures the shape of the track. i didn't think i could get this perfect, but this is actually, in fact, perfect. hurrah for that...
the big file contains a drum soundscape (i've got roughly 30 components of this - live drums, programmed drums, live drum machine square pushing and digital generated/shaped noises), a bass part, seven guitar parts and two synth parts. so, i could actually conceivably squeeze this onto a 32 track board.
that's synced. i'll mix it in the morning, then it's done.
that file is dated to 2006. i don't remember where it came from; i may have ripped it from a since lost cd-r. i don't know why i didn't rebuild it from this in the first place. it's a long time coming, but it's finally what i wanted it to be....
