SBD -> Dolby A Reel -> Dolby A decode -> DAT -> Sound Forge NR?-> CD-R; via Orf; disortion removed digitally (see notes); more info comparing Orf's NR to the WBOTB version; note the (possibly reextracted?) Orf version went to abgd 12/99 via D. Hollister, J. Sachs (md5s shown as "abgd", kindly provided by Eric Noon: note 2 versions- abgda, posted to abgd 1/19/00, has d2t2 sig different from Eric's abgdb, which he generated himself for the set- not sure which is correct)

SBD -> Dolby A Reel -> Dolby A decode -> DAT -> Sound Forge NR  -> CD-R

The Sound Forge noise reduction was used to attenuate a very narrow
frequency band (in the vicinity of 8000 Hz) which was present as
interference on the original reels.  See my notes below for details.

  * first performance

The original reels of the Port Chester run of '71 were audibly
tainted due to a cable problem. The result is a tone which hovers
around 8000 Hz with an amplitude of about +20 dB above the noise
floor. This translate to a very annoying pitch, especially during quiet
sections, which is in the old-tv-tube or lousy-hard-disk or maybe even
the-sound-you-hear-after-you-slam-your-head-against-a-concrete-wall
class of 'whine'. Because this interference is 'monochromatic' it's
easy to get rid of if you have the processing power and a quick
FFT algorithm. I used the filter-shaping capabilities of the Sonic
Foundry Noise Reduction Plugin to tailor a very narrow notch filter
which attenuated the interference without affecting the rest of the
signal. And it's all done in the digital domain. Huzzah!

As a side note, I actually ended up crafting many filters to process
these shows. The frequency of the interference actually drifted anywhere
from 7700 to 8100 Hz during a given show. This was probalby due to a
slightly wandering reel speed. It made my work harder but when I tried
a much wider filter I started to be able to hear the attenuation in the
music. The filters generally go like this:

25 dB     /- - - - - - - -\
         /                 \
        /                   \ 
0  dB  |                     |
       7830      7900      7970

The end result is no more annoying whine! 

I also removed some of the nasty mic feedback in the 2/18/71 Bertha
using this type of filter.
