Scarlet Begonias > | 1978-10-17 | Grateful Dead

View NotesComments:

- during "Space" you can hear Jerry, off stage, being asked if he still gives banjo lessons.

Notes:

- Garcia's vocals float in and out of the mix at the start of "Scarlet Begonias"
- Patches:

   Eyes Of The World 9:00-10:59
   U.S. Blues - last 3:08

Patch source: AKG D224e > Sony TC-158 taped by Reinhart Holwein (shnid 100687)
 
The patches have been eq'd so that they are a closer match.

- I also cleaned up some of the transitions

Taper Notes:

View Notesagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file. 
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac 
files. If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be 
stripped, however audio data will remain unaffected. 
If you must transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use ffp to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.

Taper Notes:

View NotesDespite some minor flaws, this is the best representation of what went
down at Winterland in October of 1978 (short of an official Vault
release which we can only hope for). All five shows come from
soundboard sources of varying degrees of quality. Some sets are
spliced together from various sources, with an audience patch at the
end of 10/21/78 Stella Blue. There are some cuts due to cassette
flips.

Special thanks to dug for the sources.

remaster of shn #100692 Reinhart Holwein aud recording by acetboy

Taper Notes:

View NotesThis is a remaster of shn #100692.
Thanks to the taper and the MOTB people and all who bring this stuff to share.
All of the work I do is in ocenaudio and Harrison Mixbus.
Everything I do is basically about levels.  Keeping them the same in both channels
throughout the frequency range.  When I speak of levels I mean RMS levels.  Average levels.
I also tighten up phase issues when needed. Clear up any gaps that may be found.
If original files are high res, I have done most of the work at the higher sample frequency
and bit depths.  Then towards the end I've converted to 44.1 16 bit.

About the screen grabs:

One can not see everything I do in these images but it shows something about
how the audio has changed between before and after.

If I'm working from high res files the before FFT and Spectral images look
quite a bit different inherently.
