Comments:
Reel flips and short segments of missing music (Casey Jones, Bird Song, Lovelight) were crossfaded to stealthy seamlessness by sampling the 2-3 missing beat(s) from the same measure in a preceding/following verse/chorus.   All audio editing was done on 24 bit files.

FFT of waveform showed 2 distinct peaks resulting in an annoying whine.  First peak broadly centered around 8100 and a second at roughly 15700 Hz.  These were attenuated using the SuperNotch notch filter preset of Waves Q10 32 bit paragraphic equalizer performed on the 24/96 WAV files prior to Ozone mastering and MBIT 16 bit rendering.
