Tech NoteJerry Garcia, David Grisman, Joe Craven, Jim Kerwin - "Grateful Dawg" Birthday and Christmas Party for Village Music owner John Goddard December 17, 1990 Sweetwater, Mill Valley, California Jerry Garcia - acoustic guitar, vocals David Grisman - mandolin Joe Craven - fiddle, percussion Jim Kerwin - bass Original Video attributes: 3 Camera Shoot Produced & Directed by Jesse Block Executive Producer - John Goddard & Village Music NTSC 720 x 486, 29.97fps, H.264, AAC TRT 51:48 New Video attributes: 3 Camera Shoot Produced & Directed by Jesse Block Executive Producer - John Goddard & Village Music NTSC 685 x 486, 29.97fps, H.264, LPCM 16/48 TRT 51:48 (see notes below for additional info) Original Audio attributes: stereo SBD 48kHz Dat master first rip by grner1 - 2023-05-17: Panasonic SV-3700 (S/PDIF digital output) > Zen Go Synergy Core interface > Pro Tools (normalize, minor seamless fixes and tracking on sector boundaries - no EQ or noise reduction) > 16/48 .wav files > xACT (tagged Flac level 8 files). The applause at the end of Dawg's Waltz up until the first 18 seconds of Russian Lullaby were missing from this SBD and were spliced in from an alternate closely recorded audience source. The smooth splice is almost undetectable other than the applause being a bit louder in the mix at the end of Dawg's Waltz. The transition back to the soundboard source is extremely seamless and very satisfactory. These are 16/48 files. New Audio attributes: (see notes below) Setlist: The Thrill Is Gone When First Unto This Country Grateful Dawg Spring In California Off To Sea Once More So What? Two Soldiers Dawg's Waltz Russian Lullaby Notes: What I did to improve video: 1) Deinterlacing (this eliminated all the closeup motion distortion on all other versions including Jesse Jarnow's original Vimeo file uploaded 7+ years ago and all subsequent DVD authoring) 2) brightness and black level adjustments (this improved the picture quality substantially) 3) eliminated the head switching noise at bottom of frame 4) centered the video, which was previously skewed to the left side What I did to improve the DAT audio: 1) amplified left channel, which was substantially lower than the right channel during the first 50 minutes of this recording. Now its far better balanced. 2) synchronized repaired 16/48K DAT audio to repaired video (and made it pure LPCM 16/48k audio on the DVD instead of AAC, which is how the audio was on all previous copies of this footage. This now looks and sounds substantially better than it ever has. Previous DVD copies (and Jesse Jarnow's original Vimeo file) all suffered from various video issues and which had a mono board feed in the left channel and a mono audience mic in the right channel that were slightly off sync with each other. The audio levels were also extremely low. Despite those anomalies, it sounded quite good, but also overly ambient, so people often mistakenly attributed the audio track to being an audience recording. The DAT SBD audio (which just surfaced yesterday), although dry, sounds crystal clear, with a much brighter high end, a much punchier low end, more dynamics and is in stereo, making this remastered DVD a far more enjoyable watching and listening experience. Enjoy!
