Grateful Dead
February 27, 1994
Oakland Coliseum Arena
Oakland, CA

Matrix (SBD/AUD mixdown), done in Cool Edit Pro.

Source 1 (seeded by Charlie Miller) - Recording Info: SBD -> Dat (44.1k); Transfer Info: Dat (Sony R500) -> SEK'D Prodif Plus -> Samplitude Professional v8.01 -> FLAC

Source 2 - AUD (mics unknown)>DAT>CD>EAC>SHN (downloaded from LlaMA).

Source files decompressed and merged using WavMerge > edited, synched and mixed down in Cool Edit Pro > retracked using CD Wave > FLAC.

As with the original sources, the transition between discs 2 and 3 is seamless.

==========

When this source was first circulated, the flac files contained
REPLAYGAIN tags. The wav files compressed inside the flac files are
fine, but if you listen to the flac files themselves using a player
like WinAMP, these tags cause undesirable changes in the volume of
each track (the player tries to make the volumes the same across
tracks). That's not good for concerts where some tracks are supposed
to be louder than others.

There's a new version of this source available. It has exactly the
same wav files; it's just the flac wrapper that's different, the
wrapper doesn't have REPLAYGAIN set anymore. The new version has the
same ffp file (since the wav's are the same), but a new md5 file
(since the flac files are different). The md5 file for the old source
is called "orig-flac-replaygain-md5"; the md5 file for the good new
source is called "flac-md5". If you have a source for this that
matches the ffp, you can create the new source by unflac'ing the old
source and then recompressing at flac level 8 using the flac command
line tool or the flac frontend.

Set 1:
d1t01 - Tuning
d1t02 - Hell In A Bucket
d1t03 - Row Jimmy
d1t04 - New Minglewood Blues
d1t05 - Lazy River Road
d1t06 - Mama Tried ->
d1t07 - Mexicali Blues
d1t08 - Tennessee Jed
d1t09 - Easy Answers

Set 2:
d2t01 - Touch Of Grey ->
d2t02 - Samson And Delilah
d2t03 - Uncle John's Band ->
d2t04 - Corrina ->
d2t05 - Drums ->
d3t01 - Space ->

d3t04 - Wharf Rat ->
d3t05 - Turn On Your Lovelight

Encore:
d3t06 - Crowd/Tuning
d3t07 - Rain

Known flaws: 

- Occasional, though rare, audience comments or exclamations can be heard through the music.  I didn't drop the volume to mute these because I felt it would hurt the overall quality of the sound.

- Not really an error, but sounds like one.  The final chorus of TN Jed is missing "back to"; this is on both the original SBD FLAC and the AUD SHN, so must be as actually heard/performed at the concert, but is easily mistaken for a skip.

Concert note: 

- Jerry plays hints of U2's "MLK" during Corinna.
- After messing up the first UJB chorus, Jerry sings "You know all the words by now/and the fire from the ice." :-)

Technical notes: 

WavMerge was used to join the individual decompressed WAV files into one large file per source per set for use in Cool Edit Pro.

No editing was done to the SBD source.  The AUD source was time stretched while preserving the pitch to synch both sources near the beginning and end of each set (the original AUD was time compressed < 1 sec shorter with small but audible difference in between the 2 sources' pitches if it was stretched without preserving the pitch; this may be due to either downsampling or the way it was transferred, I'm not sure).

I decided that to get a real feel for the room the AUD had to be treated as seasoning, not a side dish, so I kept it below Healy-esque levels.  The volume for the AUD in set 1 was dropped to -6.8 db.  The AUD volume in set 2 was lowered to -8.2 db.  Its effect is still very noticeable when compared to the straight board.

About 33 seconds of crowd noise not present in the AUD source were cut out of the SBD source between the end of set 2 and the encore.

Finally, I synched the SBD source ~30 milliseconds before the AUD source, to provide the reverb consistent with the venue.  Synching the sources *precisely* on top of each other tended to give a crushed tone to the sound, as though the two sources were punching it out.  The delay resulted in a much more "live" feel.

Thanks to Charlie Miller for providing the new SBD seed and the unknown taper who provided the source downloaded from LlaMA.  Special thanks to Keith in Richmond, VA, who alerted me to the importance of the 30-40 millisecond delay rule when doing a live or mixdown matrix.
