Matrix by Hunter Seamons using Final Cut Pro (FLAC>AIFF>Final Cut>WAV>FLAC) 
September 28, 2008

Notes:

1) There were occasional, brief "phasing" sounds in the SBD, yet not in the AUD, particularly during Hamza el Din Song #1, Promised Land (and after the song), and I Need a Miracle. Most of this seems to be from Miller's patching of the source with SHNID 6100, which sounded differently when mixed with the AUD, or on it's own.

2) There is a noticeable tonal shift in the AUD during Hamza el Din Song #1 from the mic being moved around.

3) There were cuts in the SBD and AUD between songs, whereupon only one source plays in the matrix.

4) Interestingly, Lee Oskar's harp is more audible on the AUD than the SBD, which is good.

5) As noted above, unfortunate cuts in the AUD right after a stellar Other One and a raging Sugar Magnolia, so the roaring crowd is just a little low during those parts. Cut in the AUD for the tail end of the recording as well.

Taper Notes:

View NotesDespite some minor flaws, this is the best representation of what went
down at Winterland in October of 1978 (short of an official Vault
release which we can only hope for). All five shows come from
soundboard sources of varying degrees of quality. Some sets are
spliced together from various sources, with an audience patch at the
end of 10/21/78 Stella Blue. There are some cuts due to cassette
flips.

Special thanks to dug for the sources.

This is a remaster of the Reinhart Hohlwein shn #94600 by acetboy

Taper Notes:

View NotesThis is a remaster of shn #94600.
When 94600 was created there was no other audience source for patching.
So they used the soundboard.  There is an alternative audience recording now.
So I have used shn #102074 for the 3 patches. This is the info for that share:
============================
Recorded by:
Mike Martin and Mark Bunton.
Our location was on the floor under the mirrored ball about 20-25 feet from the stage dead center.

Equipment:
2 Sony ecm-280 microphones (shoulder high) > Teac PC-10 w/ Dolby > TDK SA-C90 tape

Transfer:
Nakamichi CR3A w/ Dolby > Audigy 4 Pro @ 24/44.1 > Editing with NERO > Tracked With CD Wave  > Flac (level 8)
============================

Thanks to the taper and the MOTB people and all who bring this stuff to share.
And the people who shared shn #102074.

All of the work I do is in ocenaudio and Harrison Mixbus.
Everything I do is basically about levels.  Keeping them the same in both channels
throughout the frequency range.  When I speak of levels I mean RMS levels.  Average levels.
I also tighten up phase issues when needed. Clear up any gaps that may be found.
If original files are high res, I have done most of the work at the higher sample frequency
and bit depths.  Then towards the end I've converted to 44.1 16 bit.

About the screen grabs:

One can not see everything I do in these images but it shows something about
how the audio has changed between before and after.

If I'm working from high res files the before FFT and Spectral images look
quite a bit different inherently.  But you can still see how they differ otherwise.

Taper Notes:

View NotesThe tape was flipped during Drums (disc 3 track 1 at 9:46).
The tape was again flipped in the Sugar Magnolia > Sunshine Daydream transition.
To fill in the missing section 5 seconds from an alternate source recorded by Reinhart Hohlwein  (disc 3 track 7 from 0:01 to 0:06) was inserted.
These breaks were spliced together with NERO wave editor.
NERO wave editor was also used to make volume adjustments and to surgically remove distracting ôclapsö one at a time.
Finally the FLAC conversion was performed at level 8.
As a note, the Sony ecm-280 cardiod microphone specification page describes the frequency response as 30 to 18KHz.
No Eq or Noise reduction used.
There is a slight fluttering noise in the master cassettes during the quieter sections.
Thanks to John Musgrave for the use of his recording equipment.
