Notes
3-Source SBD/AUD Matrix Mix by OctopusRider - May 2009

The well known SBD source has one major flaw. It is not stereo. The same channel
is spread over both channels using a splitter technique. The channel that should
contain Keith, half of Jerry, Billy, and possibly some of Phil, is missing; Keith
is minimally audible. This is the only SBD source available.

The Wagner recording is very nice quality. Once aligned with the SBD the whole sound
spectrum can be heard. Bobby is no longer drowning out the others and Jerry's sound
is much richer and fuller. The biggest difference is that Keith can be heard.

The SBD and the Wagner recording have many cuts primarily between songs. I used the
FOB to fill in most of these gaps where possible. I went into this project with the
intension of constructing a 2-source Matrix between the SBD and Wagner sources.
I found the cuts and fades between tracks very annoying so I added the FOB to fill in
between the cuts only. I did not align the FOB with the other two sources through the
songs because I felt it did not add to the overall quality of the Matrix. I also
fixed drop outs, static, level fluctuations and clicks throughout.

The results are a big improvement for this show. This is the most complete version of
this concert since all 3 recordings have different cuts and it is now seamless with the
exception of the break between sets. Everybody in the band can be heard clearly & evenly.

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac
files. If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be
stripped, however audio data will remain unaffected. If you must
transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use ffp to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
