I have reduced or removed it with some degree of success. The result is very pleasing. - I have patched Playin' at approx 0:08 (for approximately 1.5 seconds) and Truckin at 12:36 (for approximately 5 seconds) with the sbd source - I have repaired a considerable number of small drop-outs and partial drop-outs. - I have cleaned up the transitions and cross-faded, I also added back the sections that Zeb had faded out, just a personal preference! - I decided to include Stella Blue and Saturday Night, from the sbd source, so that the show is complete. Before doing so, I eq'd these tracks so that the sound was more in keeping with the rest of show. I also eq'd the patch in Truckin' - remastering was done with iZotope Ozone and Waves. Hiss reduction with Steinberg Clean ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zeb's notes 10-20-05: I downloaded this show from the Lossless Legs site (www.shnflac.net) a few months ago...when I gave it a first listen for sonic quality, I found that it was pitched too slow...so, after testing it numerous times to get the sound right (I don't claim to have perfect pitch, and I'm not a musician - but I have been listening to the Dead for nearly 25 years and feel I have a decent ear for their voices), I did the following: - I merged the wavs for disc 1 into a big file using WavMerge, and corrected the pitch (to my ears) using GoldWave, then I did the same for discs 2 & 3... Each of the 3 big files needed to be pitched up 1 semitone, and then they needed these additional tweaks (GoldWave calls it fine-tuning): disc 1 by -1 cent, disc 2 by -2 cents, and disc 3 by +8 cents...additional tweaks were made per the recommendation of a musician friend of mine (thanks Dr. Dave!), who knew upon first listen that a song wasn't pitched correctly by the song's key (guitar sounded sharp, piano notes were flat, etc.) - those adjustments were for d1t02,03 & 08 all of which needed a +1 cent speed change........now it's about as good as it's gonna get! I added fades at the end of the 3 discs (after Deal, He's Gone and Sugar Magnolia), and needed to do some pitch correction to the lion's share of Playin' (there was a cut)...the same was true of Truckin', where the tape flip occurred... I left the reel pauses intact, and located my track splits so that the reel pauses were at the beginning of the tracks - that seemed to be the most logical place for them... I gotta say - this show is great! The crowd enthusiastically claps along with the beat during several numbers, and it spurs the Dead on to great heights of ensemble playing! This is indeed an awesome recording, especially for 1972 - it does need some work, though...many times, the microphone(s?) and tape deck just couldn't handle the sheer intensity and volume of what was being played, and so there is some distortion present...but it doesn't diminish the enjoyment I get from listening to this wonderful slice of history! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SIRMick January 2006 SHNTOOL OUTPUT length expanded size cdr WAVE problems filename 3:05.36 32718716 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d1t01.flac 7:10.46 75960236 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d1t02.flac 3:07.66 33142076 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d1t03.flac 11:31.01 121894796 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d1t04.flac 6:32.72 69318188 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d1t05.flac 7:25.61 78641516 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d1t06.flac 3:30.27 37107548 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d1t07.flac 4:58.38 52656620 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d1t08.flac 18:36.70 197027084 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d2t01.flac 6:47.17 71834828 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d2t02.flac 4:03.74 43039292 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d2t03.flac 7:50.63 83056220 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d2t04.flac 5:07.45 54260684 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d2t05.flac 3:59.23 42213740 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d2t06.flac 4:51.12 51360668 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d2t07.flac 11:13.39 118808972 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d2t08.flac 14:47.43 156567980 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d3t01.flac 2:46.01 29284796 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d3t02.flac 34:40.20 366959084 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d3t03.flac 7:24.00 78321644 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d4t01.flac 4:48.01 50805596 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d4t02.flac 6:46.65 71771324 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d4t03.flac 8:26.11 89284316 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d4t04.flac 5:14.35 55471964 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d4t05.flac 2:17.48 24279740 --- -- ---xx gd72-09-09d4t06.flac 197:04.14 2085787628 B (totals for 25 files, 0.6547 overall compression ratio) App\Http\Controllers\Api\FileDownloadController::download(): Return value must be of type string, none returned
