Matrix Mix
Taper Notes:
View NotesGeneral Notes: Two sources from the LMA provided coverage for this matrix: a relatively decent SBD, and a pretty nice sounding AUD recorded probably at the board via the "Debbie connection". The result is an interesting matrix, with the vocals a little hot in the overall outcome - typical of this era's SBD mixes, although that's irrelevant when you're deep in the Dark Star. One of the things I like about the resulting matrix is the ability to bring back that amphitheater sound. Many people were yipping and whooping in between songs just to hear their own echo. Check out these comments from DeadBase: "On Saturday night, one of the crew lit a fireworks fountain up on one of the PA towers creating a moment of panic for some folks who thought it was an electrical fire but Garcia calmed 'em down with a simple, 'Don't panic folks, this is the movies - remember..'. "In an interesting footnote to these shows, the official Grand Opening of this brand new venue on the Universal Studios backlot was the following weekend with a week-long series of Frank Sinatra shows but the Dead gave it a real shakedown acid test first." A review from the LLama: "The Playin is typically great for 1973, and the Dark Star>Eyes>Stella Blue combination puts this one over the top for me. Very unique jams. And BTW, the Wall of Sound seems to work pretty well tonight. Nice quality. An overlooked show that will knock you out!" - Dr. Flashback Thanks to A. Jerugim for the SBD, and Noah Weiner for the A>D transfer of the AUD as well as all the folks involved with the Audience Devotional Tree. Enjoy! Chappy Timeline/Tracking Notes: The transition between all three discs can be put together seemlessly. I tracked this show so that disc 3 contains the entire second set. It would be possible to edit out 40 seconds of crowd/tuning from the first set and burn a 90 minute CDR. Editing Notes: - Pitch Both sources were pitched differently, the AUD being the sharpest, and the SBD being the flatest. The AUD on average had to be pitched down on average about .05 (5 cents), and the SBD had to be pitched up about .15 (15 cents) to achieve pitch correction - 1.00 being 100 cents which is a semitone. The result is very close to A=440Hz, however there is some fluctuation throughout the show due to the age of the recordings. - Synch Even after pitch correcting the AUD and the SBD, 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 AUD did receive a little EQ to revive some of the high end that was lost to previously employed NR. The SBD remained untouched sonically. Conceptually, all I was trying to do here is to add some dimension to the SBD, which is pretty dry, by using the ambience of the AUD. The result is a lively but clear recording, hopefully close to how it sounded at the show. If I had to guess the SBD/AUD ratio would be somewhere between 3:1 and 4:1, leaning more towards the 3:1 end of things. - Edits The following are places where the SBD had holes or incomplete coverage in reference to the final matrix timeline. SBD: d1t02 (5:16 - 5:27) - missing (crowd) d1t04 (7:33 - 7:37) - missing (crowd) d1t05 (7:07 - 7:10) - missing (crowd) d1t06 (7:43 - 8:57) - missing d1t06 (10:03 - 10:07) - missing (crowd) d1t07 (5:28 - 5:34) - missing (crowd) d1t09 (8:07 - 8:16) - missing (crowd) d2t01 (4:47 - 6:12) - missing (crowd) d2t02 (0:00 - 0:02) - missing d2t02 (4:40 - 4:46) - missing (crowd) d2t03 (0:00 - 0:03) - missing d2t03 (3:17 - 3:22) - missing (crowd) d2t04 (8:53 - 8:59) - missing (crowd) d2t05 (14:52 - 14:56) - missing (crowd) d3t01 (0:00 - 0:03) - missing d3t01 (5:03 - 5:43) - missing (crowd) d3t02 (6:13 - 8:13) - missing (crowd) d3t03 (4:15 - 4:51) - missing (crowd) d3t04>d3t05 (16:16 - 0:07) - missing d3t05 (11:39:21 - 11:39:39) - missing d3t06 (8:06 - 9:15) - missing (crowd) d3t07 (9:04 - 9:13) - missing (crowd) AUD: d1t01 (0:00 - 0:10) - missing d1t01 (3:04 - 3:06) - missing (crowd) d1t02 (5:27 - 5:32) - missing (crowd) d1t06 (10:07 - 10:09) - missing (crowd) d2t01 (3:33 - 3:52) - missing d2t05 (10:29 - 10:46) - missing d3t04 (6:23 - 6:42) - missing d3t06 (0:37 - 0:47) - missing - Recap Full coverage was achieved by combining both sources. The most significant pieces missing from the SBD are 1:14 in the middle of Birdsong, and 20 seconds of the transition from Dark Star > Eyes, both likely due to reel changes. The rest is tuning/crowd and a few clipped intros. All of it is covered nicely by the AUD. The missing elements from the AUD are also likely due to reel changes, and are not that noticeable, although I encourage the avid listener to locate those points so as to hear the matrix coming back in - this will reveal the effect of the combination of the two sources.

Notes: Source shn files were converted to wav with mkwACT. Audience patches were pitch shifted and otherwise manipulated in Sound Forge, and were mixed with the soundboard source in Sonic Foundry Vegas Audio. All three discs were re-tracked using CD Wave to better match the start of each song with the beginning of the track. Sector boundaries were verified/fixed with shntool, and files were shortened with seek tables appended. JD Baker 10/10/2003

At the time, this DAT copy's caveats led me to the conclusion to only circulate the known first gen reel transfer I performed in 2001. I recently pulled this DAT out, and upon listening decided it was worth circulating despite some of the tapes issues. Given the spirit and completeness of the online archival community, it seemed appropriate to "add this to the pile" while I am as confident as I can be that the true master recording is yet to be "unearthed." Whether one deems this an upgrade, downgrade, or sidegrade is open to debate. For me, I know that I will continue to pull this version out when I want to revisit this personal favorite show. That was enough reason for me to risk "polluting the gene pool" a little bit. This is the same master recording as shinid=6019. The tape had all the exact same cuts and flips requiring repair. I chose to re-perform the cross fades, rather than introduce what were, in my opinion, more disruptive SBD patches. The Caveats: This entire tape sounds like there was some analog noise reduction applied at some point, followed by the tape being run with the Dolby off and on again, perhaps while going to DAT. That said, this low gen copy has a fantastic spectrum of high and low end, beautifully upgrading the one disappointment in the current circulating copy of the same recording - muted high end. Someday, when the true master tape itself is found and circulated, this recording will likely claim the crown of being the best audience tape from 1973.
