and to Dr. Rob Bertrando for help with pitch correction.

Pitch correction, amplification, and meta-tagging on February 12, 2012.

Notes:

1) While not the most ideal AUD on its own, Glassberg’s source complemented the SBD best (consistent with the 05-08-81 matrix), and Eaton’s AUD is used only for patches in the SBD. In these cases, only Eaton’s source plays.

2) There was more tape hiss in the SBD source, it seems, than the previous night, especially during the first two minutes of Half-Step.

3) After the cut in the SBD during Eyes, the overall quality of the SBD is slightly diminished. One glaring difference is that not all of the drum pieces are as fully present. I noticed the high-hat (or one of them) is not present in the SBD any more, but is very audible in the AUD, so the AUD helps fill all instrumentation that is lacking in the SBD. Weird stuff.

4) As always – enjoy!

New notes on 2/12/12:

On July 12, 2008, at 4:45 PM, Dr. Rob Bertrando informed me that the speed of this matrix (or SBD) was running about 20 cents fast (1.2%). On February 12, 2012, I took Bertrando seriously and made the appropriate adjustment.
