**ONLY Hiss reduction AND 4dB amplification on ALL tracks used on 9/30/2006 with Cool Edit Pro:

*My Original 6/2000 DAT is NOT shnid=184 release but may well be same source. However, that's where any
other similarities END... This release (April 2011) sounds better IMO...

Teddy Notes 9/30/2006: You will be pleasantly surprised IMHO to hear the quality!!! There is very little
sign (if any) of a cassette generation... Enjoy!!!

** Encoded to SHN and FLAC 10/1/2006 W/hiss reduction on ALL

***Converted to FLAC April 2011 & seeded shortly thereafter by Teddy "GoodBear" :wave:

April 2011:
--Audience patches in Dew at 10:42 through 4:04 into Sugar Mag sounds much better than shnid=112220
--converted d1t01 thru d2t04 SHN files to FLAC
--edit shnid=184 files from "Let It Grow" until end with hiss reduction and amplify with these timings:

Let It Grow                                   11:05
Row Jimmy                                     09:12
Big River                                     04:30
Deal                                          04:56
Beat It On Down The Line                      03:21

Key:
*   = 6/2000 fix & seed (no shnid but have MD5 & NFO - IF ANYBODY HAS THESE SHNs PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP)
**  = 9/30/2006 hiss only fix (no shnid but have MD5 and TXT)
*** = 2006 FLAC files lost - April 2011


*On the SBD:MR their were numerous pops in the left channel & some in the
right channel. These errors sound like equipment problems on the stage,
but I cannot be certain of its origin.

*These errors & lineage from DAT were corrected (almost perfectly) as
follows:

*GoodBear DAT @ 48kHZ > Sony DAT deck PCM-R300 > coaxial s/pdif > pentium II
350 mHz via Turtle Beach "Fiji" soundcard > CoolEdit > convert to 44.1kHz >
edit - zoom in real close on the errors & remove (BOTH channels w/o any
noticeable music loss for most of the errors) & lowered AUD volume levels
in CoolEdit > Smart & Friendly CDR SCSI drive > CD

*AUD patches were added in Morning Dew onward until the 1st 4 minutes of
Sugar Magnolia, prior to me receiving my DAT. The patches were seamless,
but the volume was a touch too high, so I lowered it just SLIGHTLY during
the AUD portions of Morning Dew only... Teddy Notes 10/1/2006: AUD lineage
from 6/2000 fix not remembered, but one can assume is from the AUD in
circulation at that time.

Teddy notes: the 1st 1:04 of "Jet To The Promised Land" has low Bobby vocals and very rich bass until the SBD mix get's better at about 1:05.

Below timings have NOT changed from my original 6/2000 DAT source after I edited/retracked it BACK THEN and put on CD/DAT... This release here 9/30/2006**, is MY original edited 6/2000 tracks EXACTLY, plus the 9/30/2006 fix** (see below)...
