Matrix by Hunter Seamons using Final Cut Pro (FLAC>AIFF>Final Cut>WAV>FLAC)
November 2, 2008


Notes:

1) Fades were used to create a "seamless" AUD track (i.e., no AUD "gaps" despite cuts made to the SBD source). This allows the listener to remain always in "audience" mode and to not be suddenly teleported into "lonely and bleak studio" mode.  

2) Due to weirdness and high hiss at the very beginning of Stranger in the SBD, I opted to have only the AUD play, which is "consistent" with the other set-opening SBD cut at the beginning of Samson. I also experienced extreme weirdness in the SBD at the tail-end of Althea, so I faded to AUD-only there.

3) The 2 SBD sources used before Supplication seem to have a little more hiss and are less optimal than the "SBD -> Master Cassette -> Dat -> CD" source. 

4) The shnid=24829 AUD patches were maintained (re-synced) for the matrix, so there is a slight tonal difference during those moments. Miller's nice cross-fades for the patches were kept intact (thus maintaining the "seamless" AUD track). The SBD patches were redone for matrix purposes (as I do most of the time).

5) 1 Miller SBD Source + 1 Miller AUD Source = 1 Just Exactly Perfect MTX Source
