This is flac encoded & tagged version of shnid: 9752

SOURCE: Soundboard
LINEAGE: SBD > Master Reel > PCM > DAT > CD-R>EAC>SHN

REEL PROBLEMS:
Sugaree (d1t05) 6:59 – 7:01 there is a funny reel generated boo boo

PITB (d2t01) 8:42 another reel problem

Franklin’s (d2t09) there is a reel change in there that is one of
the betterones we’ve heard.

ALL of these are in every copy I have heard and are believed to be
from the Master Reel.

Thanks to the DaveTree for getting this to me.

The Owen Brothers Vault
Editing and mastering by The Wizard –
This is the older of two currently circulating soundboard sources
for this show. The newer one is highly compressed and I think the
older one has better dynamics. Both will be available from the OBV.

Most tunings were cut on this source. They were restored from a
SBD>MR>C>C>CD source that I have had for some time.

Other patches were supplied by the AUD tape,
AUD: Sony ECM-280>Sony TC-153SD>MC>RR>DAT>CDR.

Here is a general summary.
The cut start of Estimated was restored from the Aud source.
The glich in Sugaree patched with the Aud source.
The glich in Sampson patched with the Aud source.
The glich in Music was was patched with the alt SBD source.
The glich in Franklin’s was patched with the alt SBD source.
The flip in Around patched with the Aud source.
Lots of misc. pops removed.
All patches were processed to match the source as best as possible.
All editing and mastering done with DCArt Millennium Software.

* Sound Forge 5.0 peak normalization to 98%.

Notes from trailmix 3-14-07:

Ü Project WBOTB
Ü these shns were SBE fixed (by set), then encoded to flac16 (level 6).
This entire process was repeated, resulting in identical wav md5s.
Ü The original shns were created in 2002, but they’re not in circulation
and didn’t exist in the database (which is why these shns were converted
and fixed).

KNOWN FLAWS:
d1t04 dropout @ 7:02 (missing some crowd noise)
d1t05 fades in (missing some tuning and first couple notes)
d1t05 dropout @ 7:12 (missing some crowd noise)
d1t06 missing some crowd noise in the transition to track 7 (no music lost)
d1t07 dropout @ 2:44 (missing some crowd noise)
d1t08 dropout @ 5:35 (missing some crowd noise)
d2t01 dropout @ 1:52

Thank you to Jace, Tim Diebert and Trailmix for the SBD transfer,
to Joe B. Jones for help with pitch correction,
and to Rob Bertrando for recording the show and generously providing the AUD, as well as feedback.

Notes:

1) A faint, warbly sound begins during Eyes onward, apparently from the sound system since the AUD has a similar effect.

2) Several brief cuts were in both SBD and AUD, but did not overlap, making the show now complete.
