Audio Patches:
1) Between They Love Each Other and Little Red Rooster, 26.406 seconds added to SBD1 soundtrack from AUD2 in order to match the video and the audience soundtracks.

2) Between Mexicali Blues and Bird Song, 13.293 seconds added to AUD1 soundtrack from AUD2 in order to match the video and the soundboard soundtracks.

3) Also between Mexicali Blues and Bird Song, 13.293 seconds added to SBD1 soundtrack from AUD2 in order to match the video and the audience soundtracks. This includes the first notes of Bird Song.

4) I used the video soundtrack as the timing reference and while the SBD1 was slightly slower than the video at about .3 seconds per minute, the AUD1 was very fast averaging about 1.4 seconds a minute faster than the video.

The Master Cassettes were played back with Azimuth adjustment and Dolby B decoding on a Nakamichi CD1 into a Korg MR1000 at DSF 1 bit 5.6MHz. Subsequent conversion to 24/96 AIFF done via Korg Audiogate software. Redbook CDR standard 16/44.1 files were created using Bias Peak, Izotope Ozone's MBIT+ (for all dithering), and Weiss Saracon SRC (all sample rate conversions).

Taper Notes:

View NotesAll disc transitions are seamless.  This can be rearranged to fit on 2 discs.

Known flaws:
- Two short bits of silence occured in Mexicali Blues.  It seemed the phantom
  supply lost power for some reason.  The silence was clipped out, but these
  are otherwise unpatched.
- Screaming maniac during Drums > Space > The Other One > Stella Blue, after
  which he was dragged away by security.

The only time I taped omni, and a very accurate (perhaps too much in places)
representation of how the show sounded.  A good recording of an excellent show,
and possibly good raw material for a multichannel mix.

Enjoy!
