Sorry, I'm having diificulty picking out the sound quality to fit
your description in the first 7 minutes. Maybe if we both refer to
one short, uncompressed clip? Here's a 16/48K aif with two excerpts.
(1) section with lowest presence I could find (from section
represented by the 7 minute, mp3 clip you have).
(2) section from 20 minutes in where the right mic is breaking up.
The sound I'm referring to is pretty apparent, but there's prominence
~ 400Hz.
