Tech Notes

SHNs were decoded to wave. Wavmerge was used to reassemble
the tracks back to 1 long wave. CEP2.0 was used to align &
synch both of the sources. SF8.0 was used for the EQ setting
pre mixdown. This is a 60% SBD, 40% AUD mix.

Notes

My goal was to take a somewhat lacking SBD, rework it and
mix with a great FOB to make something that is significantly
more palatable. The SBD suffers from generational loss,
mild distortion and over saturation. A significant amount
of post production editing and introduction of the FOB
source significantly improved the fidelity and help ease
some of these shortcomings. Leaving us with a very nice
representation of a classic fall 1989 JGB show.

Both sources were D'EQ prior to mixdown. The strategy here
was to keep what was good in the SBD and intoduce what was
good in the FOB. Essentially using the FOB to sonically fill
in the areas that were lacking or unpleasant on the SBD.
Primarily the high end, but also the very bottom as well.

A killer AUD but with some very close clapping that when
mixed the claps ended up sounding like pops. I was able to
eliminate the most frustrating of these claps by tediously
going thru, millisecond by millisecond and redrawing the wave
to take out clap without removing any of the music.

Two big PA pops (I know this b/c the pops were on both the
SBD and FOB sources) in "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" were
removed. Even though the PA pops wwere "part" of the show
I choose to remove it for increased listening pleasure.

The SBD had 2 cuts. About 22 seconds at the very beginning
of "Mississippi Moon" was missing and 1 min 15 seconds was cut
at approx the 3 min mark in "And It Stoned Me". Both sources
were patched with the FOB. A variety of edits (volume adjust,
EQ and crossfades) were made to make these patches sound as
smooth as possible and the results are outstanding. Without
any notation you could easily slide right past these patches
and not even know that the SBD had these 2 obnoxious cuts.
A nice testament to how great the FOB is as well as an
experience hand and ear at applying said patches.

The left/right channel of the FOB was uneven. I increased
the left channel approx 2db.
