Notes:

1) While I chose to use the Bertha Remaster (Ashley source) of the SBD (even though I tend to avoid remasters where a bunch of EQ work has been done), I do not consider the Ashley source to be better or worse than the Fink SBD (shnid=9392) - it really is a matter of taste. There are pros and cons to both sources, depending on what one is looking for in terms of sound. If one wants a more accurate representation of the original recording intentions, I would recommend the Fink source. There are good reasons to say why the Fink source is better sonically, but then there are good reasons to say why the Ashley source is better sonically. The Fink source is the more traditional and historically accurate recording, like what you'd find on a Dick's Picks. The Ashley source has some enhancements that give it a lot of ambience (similar to what a matrix attempts to achieve, among other things), and there's some boost in the highs and lows, with a detraction, or side effects, to other aspects of the waveform, most likely. In this sense, the Ashley source is less true to the original recording, and it could be considered a degradation of the original sound. Whatever tricks Ashley employed on the SBD, it sounds more like an indoor recording, like the Grateful Dead are playing at the Paramount Theatre in Oregon or at the Capitol Theatre in New Jersey, not in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The fuller, more ambient sound of the Ashley source, however, seems to be more in keeping with what people would want to hear in a matrix source, but that does not rule out the benefits of making a matrix using the Fink source, which I would still consider doing, especially if folk would prefer that instead. In any case, the Bertha Remaster has received very positive reviews at the Archives, including negative ones by people who really know their stuff about audio, but it has been considered an "upgrade" in general (not saying here that it is). Since I did a matrix of the next show (6/3/76) that uses a Bertha source with pleasing results, this keeps things consistent in that respect. Also, mixing in the excellent MOTB AUD helps round out and brighten what the Bertha source may be lacking in.
