| J-Card Comment | "The original source had numerous problems, for me anyway. What must be a chunk of the show is missing; can't do anything about that. Then there are numerous cuts in the music. 'Dream Clock' is missing a bit. 'A Remark You Made' is missing the first few minutes. And the last two songs 'Rockin' and 'Birdland' both have cuts. And track 4, Jaco's bass solo is missing the beginning and the end. Some of this is probably from the taper missing parts or maybe even just really bad editing for the FM broadcast. Who knows? And the applause seems just tacked on and not natural at all and sounds quite distant to boot. And the unnatural tacked-on applause is also interrupted by sbe gaps on the original. So now after my work, even more is missing!! Where there were cuts during songs, I've edited them based on musical phrasing and on the beat. I can't find them now; while listening, I have to line them up next to the originals and look at the waveforms to see what I did. The bass solo now flows in and out of the songs on either side, like it was meant to be that way. If having every available note is important to you, the listeners, then you need to stick with the original. I also did some eq work on all of this. Not much. The only remaining problem that I didn't address completely is, during 'Brown Street' I guess we're hearing FM reception problems that have the high end missing somewhat at the beginning of the track. You don't really notice it until it suddenly comes back. Then the high end fluctuates in and out for a minute or two. And it's kind of phasey. Let's just pretend it was meant to be that way..." "acetboy did an incredible job putting this together. All I had to do was lower the pitch by approximately 53 cents, as it was quite sharp. Everything finally seems to be as good as things will ever get with this set, very long in the making. goody 6/23/11" |
