The FOB AUD is a decent recording for '78 and the SBD is balanced with everyone in the mix. The two together work well as the energy in "The Pit" is palpable in this matrix. Unfortunately, no SBD circulates for the 4 songs that comprise disc 2, but the rest is epic, especially the Jerry mutron solo where he references the Close Encounters theme, shortly after the movie came out. Editing Notes: - Pitch Both sources were pitched differently, the SBD being the sharpest, and the AUD being the flatest. I used the SBD as my master timeline and pitch referenced the AUD to it. The AUD on average had to be pitched up about .06 (6 cents) to achieve pitch correction - 1.00 being 100 cents which is a semitone. I did not reference A=440 as I did not desire to pitch adjust the SBD. It is very close though to A=440. - Synch Because of the speed fluctuation within a given source, multiple edits were performed to keep the sources synched. Because the SBD was my master pitch and time ref, the AUD was synched to the SBD (too many edits to list). - Sonic Quality/Matrix ratio The only dynamic processing I employed was a little EQ to the SBD source. One difference was that I noticed NR had been applied to disc 1 but not to disc 3. For Disc 1 I added about 1dB at 2.5kHz to get back some of which was lost from the previous NR. Both Disc 1 and 3 had a small shelf (less than 1dB) starting at about 170 Hz. All I was trying to do here is to add some dimension to the SBD by using the ambience of the AUD. The result is a lively but clear recording, hopefully close to how it sounded at the show. If I had to guess the SBD/AUD ratio would be somewhere between 3:1 and 4:1. - Edits The following are places where the SBD and AUD had splices, holes or incomplete coverage in reference to the final matrix timeline. SBD: d1t01 (5:50 - 6:07) - missing (crowd) d1t04 (7:10 - 7:13) - missing (crowd) d1t05 (4:44 - 4:56) - missing (crowd) d1t06 (2:06:00 - 2:06:08) - missing d1t08 (10:02 - 10:10) - missing (crowd) d3t01 (4:24 - 4:25) - splice from another show d3t05 (6:56 - 7:27) - splice from another show d2t06 (2:50:05 - 2:50:17) - missing d3t07 (8:05 - 8:21) - missing (crowd) d3t08 (5:17 - 5:42) - missing (crowd) AUD: d1t01 (5:26 - 5:32) - missing (crowd) d1t02 (4:03 - 4:05) - missing (crowd) Note that alot of the missing elements from the SBD source are just crowd segments except for a few minor dropouts, as well as very stealth splicing in two spots on disc 3, the most noticeable being 31 seconds at the end of St. Stephen. I decided to leave the splices (from another show in the same time period (probably 1-11-78) because I was able to match them up with the AUD source without too much problem since it was during a verse, thus maintaining a SBD source in the mix during these points. This might seem objectionable to some, but since we are used to these splices, I felt that the difference in content is negligable, and it was better to have a SBD source in these parts than just the AUD. Other than that, all of the music is intact. Thanks to Popi for seeding the SBD. Thanks to John D'Auria for the transfer to DAT and SHN of the AUD. Thanks to Jonathan Aizen for uploading both sources to the Llama. Enjoy!!! -Chappy FLAC fingerprint: gd78-01-22d2aud01.flac:1a5fe5bcdcadbf1438d52a564bae8305 gd78-01-22d2aud02.flac:e1247455a8924a0519785497c067142b gd78-01-22d2aud03.flac:8bef20e8b5e8130a3f3f0aade9ffc5c0 gd78-01-22d2aud04.flac:4fc04d519f5b5c91a1bdd2ae04db695c gd78-01-22matrixd1t01.flac:681b3b25d80e6e0063d753f440037d62 gd78-01-22matrixd1t02.flac:a4c1c0678e2bb7705d3d03a365d31680 gd78-01-22matrixd1t03.flac:5c6b2893111e6070367cc35f695aaeb1 gd78-01-22matrixd1t04.flac:d2974439ca31f6086a1a01508ea74c57 gd78-01-22matrixd1t05.flac:5de49656eb158553343c266e29e3796c gd78-01-22matrixd1t06.flac:588708f7bbc937337755311f8b958777 gd78-01-22matrixd1t07.flac:9bf6a2fab089a18b8115c7212fccc2ca gd78-01-22matrixd1t08.flac:e8402714f8084dcb832d92840a24089b gd78-01-22matrixd1t09.flac:5b2bdaf14eb5f3f38f0048c56bf922af gd78-01-22matrixd3t01.flac:49c22b37d5cff601f64c5b35cbbd793d gd78-01-22matrixd3t02.flac:53e2d140338f8747f709e58e694794f3 gd78-01-22matrixd3t03.flac:6c21872bcc614c3e4c212f13f9cd8fa5 gd78-01-22matrixd3t04.flac:efb29a179262255ca7a1c77faec9e865 gd78-01-22matrixd3t05.flac:c5c8f76bcf51eb4cfd0b06f3db5a5dd5 gd78-01-22matrixd3t06.flac:be8385e6e81744217e01abc12884c604 gd78-01-22matrixd3t07.flac:7c92a69e90e58ca4284d82226113cf66 gd78-01-22matrixd3t08.flac:a2d16e84a4cf3311cb07de00e84d2976 Shntool length output on original wav files (no SBEs): length expanded size cdr WAVE problems filename 6:19.70 67020284 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22d2aud01.wav 6:00.41 63600476 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22d2aud02.wav 7:27.72 79020188 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22d2aud03.wav 7:45.29 82094252 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22d2aud04.wav 6:08.13 64945820 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd1t01.wav 4:42.30 49815404 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd1t02.wav 4:51.69 51494732 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd1t03.wav 7:27.13 78881420 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd1t04.wav 5:00.35 53002364 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd1t05.wav 8:43.39 92348972 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd1t06.wav 5:43.37 60592268 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd1t07.wav 10:18.28 109081100 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd1t08.wav 8:00.31 84744956 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd1t09.wav 10:48.17 114347228 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd3t01.wav 7:33.22 79960988 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd3t02.wav 17:08.48 181452140 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd3t03.wav 3:50.57 40706108 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd3t04.wav 7:39.45 81073484 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd3t05.wav 13:56.45 147576284 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd3t06.wav 8:22.51 88672796 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd3t07.wav 5:42.22 60380588 --- -- ----- gd78-01-22matrixd3t08.wav 163:31.64 1730811852 B (totals for 21 files, 1.00 overall compression ratio) SBD source text file: GRATEFUL DEAD McArthur Court, U. of Oregon Eugene, Oregon January 22 1978 Discs 1 & 3: sbd>??>cd>eac>shn Disc 2: Source: Audience FOB Sony TC-640 reel to reel > TCD-D8 Transfer: TCD-D8 > Delta DiO 2496 > Samplitude 2496 > CDWAV > SHNv3 >mkw>wav>mkw appended w/seek files>shn Disk 1 1.

US Blues Discs 1 & 3 came to me as audio discs and was I was told that it was a snbd that did not come through internet circulation. While I have not heard the other sbd that is in circulation http://db.etree.org/shninfo_detail.php?shnid=287 )it is also missing said tracks and has a cassette gen. My ears aren't quite what they used to be but I don't believe that this seed is encumbered with that cass gen. I also have the entire show that circulates in an audience recording nly.( http://db.etree.org/shninfo_detail.php?shnid=2014 ) which is pretty good quality(not the punch that this sbd has by any means). So what I am gonna do is upload this gem and add from the aud seed the missing tracks. Unless somebody has better source material for the aud tracks(Jay Serrafin) I will proceed when the upload directory is in proper working order( Mike) and no longer times out and cancels every track I try to upload. Meanwhile I got it and whomever desires this gem may email me pfeeldz@excite.com and I will be glad to run you off a copy. popi AUD source text file: The Grateful Dead 01/22/78 McAurther Court "The Pit", Eugene, Oregon Source: Audience FOB Sony TC-640 reel to reel > TCD-D8 Transfer: TCD-D8 > Delta DiO 2496 > Samplitude 2496 > CDWAV > SHNv3 Disc 1 Set I 1.

You can put Terrapin on Disc 2 but I personally wouldn't. Transfer to DAT and SHN by John D'Auria jcdauria@biology.lsa.umich.edu http://sativa.etree.org |
