Dark Star-> 02. Sugar Magnolia-> 03. Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks)-> Who Do You Love % -------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments: I created this "sbd/aud" matrix while matching the pitch of the circulating sbd to the audience tape. The results I think are very good. The audience tape is excellent but lacking mostly in bass while the sbd has little above 8kHz, some distortion, generally "flat", colorless sound. Simply put, the deficiences in either source individually are compensated in the other so the matrix sounds significantly better than the individual aud or sbd. The main technical difficulty I experienced was matching the pitch of the sbd to the aud tape because it fluctuates throughout. I eventually divided the set 3 jam into intervals of 30 to 60 seconds in length and then pitch adjusted each individually to match as best as possible using isolated audio events present in both sources. After the sbd was pitched to the aud, the gaps from the reel flips or gaps were crossfaded from the aud. Finally, the sub/aud matrix was created by lowering the volume of the aud by about 3db relative to the sbd and applying no time shift of the aud relative to the sbd. Clearly one can play around with the mix ratios and fixed time offsets. I looked for a combination that to my listening on headphones sounded like I was "on stage". There are still some artifacts that you will notice if you are listening for them: 1. Small errors in the pitch matching will produce different amounts of echo. 2. The main artifact is the slight pitch difference in the audience cross-fades in the sbd in Sugar Magnolia. This creates a "Moire effect" when matrixed with the aud source whose pitch was unchanged. Bascially, the "noise" is coherent in both sources so as the cross fade occurs, you detect a linear frequency ramp. Despite these errors, this is a great jam and hopefully you will be as stunned as apparently the audience was that night. -------------------------------------------------------------------- shntool track length check -------------------------------------------------------------------- length expanded size cdr WAVE probs filename 30:01.13 317727020 --- -- --- gd72-04-29d3matrixt01.wav 6:28.64 68593772 --- -- --- gd72-04-29d3matrixt02.wav 22:06.57 234040508 --- -- --- gd72-04-29d3matrixt03.wav 58:36.59 620361300 B (totals for 3 files) App\Http\Controllers\Api\FileDownloadController::download(): Return value must be of type string, none returned
