General Notes:

Since Charlie Miller recently seeded a very nice 1st or 2nd row FOB AUD,
with plenty of Garcia's guitar in the mix, I decided to couple it with 
the well circulated SBD since that source was woefully lacking in the
guitar in the mix factor, due to the fact that Garcia's stage volume was
plenty loud and little reinforcement was needed from the SBD, especially
in the first few tunes of the first set.  The mix of the SBD improves by
Knockin', but Jerry stays relatively low in the mix for the rest of 
the show; thus, having plenty of him in the AUD, allow the two sources to 
work well together. The fact that Cleveland Music Hall is a nice sounding 
room also helps.

This is a great show with a very tasty setlist.  The whole band is on,
and Jerry never lets up, all the way from Melody through Tangled. 

Thanks to everyone involved. For the FOB AUD, thanks to the person who 
recorded it, to Dave Lisuch for the 2nd gen cassettes which Charlie Miller 
transfered, edited and coverted to FLAC; for the SBD, thanks to whoever
recorded it, to Mike Lai for the original seed which jakemerc edited and
converted to SHN.

Editing Notes:

- Pitch/speed
Both sources were pitched differently, the AUD being the sharpest or fastest.
The AUD had to be pitched or slowed down between -.62 (62 cents) and -.79 
(79 cents). This is almost a semitone (100 cents) difference. The SBD had to 
be pitched or slowed down between -.04 (4 cents) and -.10 (10 cents).

- Synch 
Because of the speed fluctuation within a given source, multiple edits
were performed to keep the sources synched (too many edits to list).

- Sonic Quality/Matrix ratio
The only dynamic processing I employed was Waves L2 (limiter) to the master 
2 buss to keep things contained.  All I was trying to do here is to add some 
dimension to the SBD by using the ambience of the AUD. The result is hopefully
close to how it sounded at the show, albeit some phase is present. If I had 
to guess, the SBD/AUD ratio would be somewhere between 1.5:1 and 1:1, which
has more AUD than usual, but I needed Garcia's guitar present which was coming
primarily from the AUD.

- Edits
The following are places where the SBD and AUD had splices, holes or
incomplete coverage in reference to the final matrix timeline. 

SBD:
d1t01 (0:00 - 0:47) - missing (crowd)
d1t02 (0:00 - 0:11) - missing
d1t02 (13:48 - 13:55) - missing (crowd)
d1t04 (7:39 - 7:46) - missing (crowd)
d1t05 (12:26 - 12:27) - missing (crowd)
d2t01 (14:44 - 14:45) - missing (crowd)
d2t04 (0:00 - 0:07) - missing
d2t05 (1:54 - 5:53) - missing

AUD:
d1t03>4 (8:19 - 0:02) - missing (tuning - 3 secs total)
d1t06 (0:00 - 0:08) - missing 
d2t03 (8:07:44 - 8:07:53) - sub sec. tape warble/drop out (edited out)

Note that a lot of the audio missing from the SBD is crowd noise from
in between songs.  Where there is music missing from either source, the
other source covers those holes, thus full coverage has been achieved.
The only major hole in the SBD is 4 minutes during Dear Prudence.
