General Notes:

A decent AUD makes this great show a good matrix.  A SBD Splice in 
Estimated from another 77 show was removed and now is historically
correct - synching sources necessitates the authentification of the
content, another value added aspect of matrices.  I don't really 
understand why someone (Gans?) would spend the time to splice in 
content from another show.

Editing Notes:

- Dynamics
Waves L2 was used for minor limiting (-0.7 threshold), and no EQ was
used on any of the sources.

- Pitch/Synch 
AUD synched to the SBD.
The AUD is pitched up in a range between 12 and 30 cents.

- Envelope Edits
The following are places where the SBD and AUDs had splices, holes or
incomplete coverage in reference to the final matrix timeline. Tuning
and crowd noise holes are not mentioned - only incomplete music sections.  
Full coverage is achieved.

AUD:
d1t05 (all) 	      - missing
d1t07 (all) 	      - missing
d2t01 (all) 	      - missing
d3t03 (11:42 - 11:54) - missing 
d3t05 (00:00 - 00:08) - missing
d3t08 (all) 	      - missing

SBD:
d3t02 (00:47 - 01:08) - missing
d3t02 (01:41 - 01:41) - missing a tenth of a second
d3t05 (03:23 - 03:23) - missing a quarter of a second
d3t07 (02:38 - 03:07) - missing

Patch SBD used at the following:
d3t02 (00:41 - 00:47) - patched due to illegal foreign content
d3t02 (01:08 - 01:10) - patched due to crossfade
d3t07 (07:55 - 08:09) - patch in UJB tuning b/c it's missing from 11614

Many thanks to Betty Cantor Jackson for recording the SBD source and
aoxoa whose DAT seems to be the source for both SBD shnids.  Thanks to 
Jay Serrafin for his version of it (the EQ is decent and helps the 
matrix mix, thus why I went with this source, the illegal Estimated
patch notwithstanding).  Thanks to direwolf and Darrin Sacks for their
roles in shnid=3224.
Thanks to the Wizard (owen brothers vault) for the AUD source - 
apparently Jerry Moore did not record this show, so whoever the taper
is - many thanks!

Enjoy!
- Chappy
