General Notes:
When Bill and Chris recently seeded their new FOB source of this show, I
was curious to see how it would sound coupled with a pretty deterioted
SBD. I also wanted to see what the Hogan FOB would sound like with the
board. While doing an A/B comparison of the two possible matrices I
realized that all 3 sources actually complement each other. The Hogan
AUD seems to have better low end presence, while the Koucky AUD has more
clarity in the mids and highs. Even though this was the era of the
taper's section, Healy allowed tapers for this show to set up FOB.
Don't ask me why he did that, but in a small 9,000 seat civic center,
both of these FOB's sound stellar. Thus, the matrix isn't a vast
improvement, but it does sound good, due to the quality of the AUDs,
and full coverage is achieved. This was the last Dead show played at this
venue, and I enjoyed every minute of it - I just wish the first set SBD
would surface so I could finish of the show. I did this matrix before the
MOTB source was released, and I never checked to see if it would work well
with the SBD. It probably would, but again, it's not like this matrix
is a vast improvement over any of the AUD sources. A great sounding venue,
with multiple stellar FOB sources available, now you have yet another option.

Editing Notes:
- Pitch/Synch
The two AUD sources were pretty close in pitch, so I decided to use
AUD1 as my master pitch/synch ref. The SBD had to be pitched up between
12 and 30 cents, while the AUD2 had to be pitched only +1 to -2 cents.
No source was allowed to be out of synch with any of the others by
more than 4 milliseconds thus effectively minimizing phase issues.
- Sonic Quality/Matrix ratio
No EQ or NR was applied to the SBD and AUD1 sources. For the AUD2 I used
a low pass filter starting at about 700K and ending at 300K. This means
about half of the signal at 500K is getting through and everything below
300K gets through; i.e. there is no high midrange or high end used from
this source - only the low mids and low end which compliment the AUD1
source nicely. Having both AUDs matrixed together equally resulted in too
much signal in the midrange especially, so I opted for the low pass filter
approach which seems to work well. I applied very sparingly Waves L2
(limiter) to the master 2 buss to keep all three sources contained, the
levels rarely hitting zero, thus the limiting is quite scarce. All I was
trying to do here is to add some punch to the FOB AUDs by using a little
SBD in the mix. The result is a lively but clear recording, hopefully
close to how it sounded at the show. If I had to guess the AUD1/SBD/AUD2
ratio would be somewhere around 2:2:1 or actually a ratio of Phi (62%/38%)
AUD/SBD.
- Edits
The following are places where the SBD and AUDs had splices, holes or
incomplete coverage in reference to the final matrix timeline.
SBD:
d2t01 (0:00 - 3:43) - missing (crowd/tuning)
d2t07>8 (4:27 - 0:08) - missing 1:26 (tape flip)
d2t12 (7:10 - 8:44) - missing (crowd)
d2t13 (6:51 - 6:59) - missing (crowd)
AUD1:
d2t06 (7:12 - 7:53) - missing (tape flip)
AUD2:
d2t01 (0:00 - 3:30) - missing (crowd/tuning)
d2t06>7 (7:02 - 1:18) - missing 4:28 (tape flip)
d2t12 (7:11 - 8:15) - missing (crowd)
d2t13 (6:52 - 6:59) - missing (crowd)
Full coverage is achieved and nary is there a moment when only one source
is present.
Enjoy!
