Conversion by Mike Lai Thanks to all the hard work from the folks mentioned above in their loving care getting these sources out. All 3 audience recordings were nothing short of spectacular and the transfer jobs to digital were all very well done. --------------------------------------------------------- Tech Notes FLAC/SHNs were decoded to wave. Wavmerge was used to reassemble the tracks back to 1 long wave. CEP2.0 was used to align & synch all of the sources. SF8.0 was used for the EQ setting pre mixdown. This is a 55% SBD, 15% AUD1, 15% AUD2, 15% AUD3 mix. - Mixed by dan@am-dig.com - FLAC conversion done 15-JAN-2007 - Artwork at 300dpi by dan@am-dig.com - For best results print at the highest resolution onto glossy photo paper. Design for use in a clear double jewel case. --------------------------------------------------------- Notes The SBD and all 3 AUD sources all had cuts between just about every song in the first set. The SBD was even missing a note or two at the start of each song. A huge effort was made to make the first set flow as naturally as possible. In most cases the transition from song to song sounds very good as if the Dead weren't tuning up much and just rattling off song after song. Losing a naturally flow and between song cuts are a big pet peeve of mine. I hope you enjoy all the hard work that went to keep this sounding smooth and natural. d1t01 "Bertha" first 8 seconds is from a matrix mix of AUD sources D'EQed. Then a several second crossfade to the SBD. This is very short and the patch ends before the lyrics begin. Hardly noticeable and not at all distracting. d1t04 "CC Rider" the line "see what you done done" sounds like a tiny skip but it is on the SBD and all 3 AUDs so it was also coming over the PA. Probably a problem with Bobby's microphone. There is also an echo effect on the vocals. This is not a synch issue. d1t05 "Althea" first 2 seconds is from a matrix mix of AUD sources D'EQed. Then a several second crossfade to the SBD. This is very short patch, hardly noticeable and not at all distracting. d2t01-02 "Touch > Women" is made entirely from a mix of all 3 AUD sources. Fun to hear both a stereo mix of all 3 AUD recordings and even better in the 5.1 multichannel mix. d2t01 "Touch Of Grey" was missing 3.187 seconds from the AUD3 source. This was patched with a matrix mix of AUD1 + AUD2. d2t01 "Touch Of Grey" Weir hits a real sour note at the start of the song. Out of tune and bad timing. This is not a synch issue d2t05 "Drums" cassette flips in all 3 AUD sources during different portions. B/c these were all located at different spots complete coverage was achieved. d3t03 "Spanish Jam" cassette flip in SBD source. There was approx 12 seconds of missing material patched with a matrix mix of all 3 sources. Plus 5 second crossfades at each end to make the source transition as smooth as possible. This came out real nice and is hardly noticeable and not at all distracting. --------------------------------------------------------- Multitrack Mixdown Settings SET ONE Stereo Matrix SBD -3db AUD1 -7db AUD2 -8.5db AUD3 -9.5db SET TWO Stereo Matrix SBD -3.5db AUD1 -8db AUD2 -8.5db AUD3 - 9.5db |
