CEP2.0 was used to align & synch both of the sources. CEP2.0 used to adjust the volume for the SBD & AUD.

Strange. The AUD was trimmed to match and the result is smooth and undetectable. d1t08 at 51:57.173 the levels increase by approx +6db on the FOB. I reduced the levels to match the rest of the recording by doing a gradual decrease in gain. This smooth and is most likely undetectable. d2t09 Level drop significantly on the FOB from 57:36.956 to 57:47.500 for a total of 10.544. Doing a gradual increase in gain I raised this low level portion +10db. This smooth and is most likely undetectable. d2t09 13.220 seconds missing of drums, just before space is about to start on the SBD source. This is not only very difficult to explain why but was really hard to find exactly where to make a patch. I was finally able to get a good idea where this was and patch it with the FOB. This smooth and most likely undetectable. ——————————————————— Editorial Comments I felt it worthy to include a few observations/opinions. This is another strange 1991 SBD. Let me explain. Quite a few digital SBD’s for the 1991 year are in circulation. I am sure some of you have noticed a sorta strange sound quality to them. What makes them sound they way they do is unknown to me. I’d call them too digital. They tip- toe along the edge of blurry. If I had to guess I would think a portable DAT deck was being fed an analog signal into the line in. And although the levels were set appropriately the deck was overloaded by ‘too hot’ a feed from the SBD. This 1991 SBD source is very similar to many other 1991 shows. 4/27/91, 6/22/91, 8/16/91, 9/8/91 thru 9/18/91 to name a few. These sources have a good mix and are clear as a bell, yes, but also sound too digital. Too much of a hard edge to them. Perhaps the decks were overloaded, maybe it was a poor A to D chip. The FOB used for this mix is excellent. An ‘in-your-face’ recording with a nice rowdy feel to it. A great compliment to the SBD. While it doesn’t completely ‘fix’ the overly digital sound of the SBD it does help. A good listening spot. Check out where it sounds as if the Dead are about to head into Dark Star in the middle of the first set. Listen to the crowd reaction to Dark Star and then when they break to Masterpiece. This is really fun in 5.1 and on the matrix. A great moment in GD history. I remember wondering to myself if this was going to be a long 1 set show like Foxboro 1987. After opening the show with Eyes Of The World and then this Dark Star exploration, there was really a feeling of anything could happen. Good show, over rated show, Vince or not, what can and should be said is this show it is truly an extraordinarily unique Grateful Dead performance. ——————————————————— Additional Formats This show is available in the following formats: 1.
