NOTES

flaws in original (SBD) noted in info file:
d1t05 there´s a dropout in the SBD tape before Golgi and the beginning
of Golgi is cut. starts at "with a ticket stub..."
d1t11 like Golgi, there´s a dropout in the SBD tape before Possum
(very last second of I Didn´t Know also missing) and the beginning
of Possum is cut. starts during instrumental intro section
d2t02 diginoise in the vocal during Suzy Greenberg
d2t10 and again a drop in the SBD tape before Antelope (very end of
Cavern cuts) and the first few notes of Antelope are missing
d3t01 closed gap @ 0:05, probably a few seconds missing

additional flaws in original:
d1t01-d1t04 left/right channels unbalanced until 2:39 in Golgi
d1t01 Reba louder than rest of the tracks in the first set
d1t01 Clicks in Reba at 5:10 & 7:02
d1t01 fuzz in Reba at 13:08
d1t03 dropout in Squirming Coil at 2:50
d1t07 same noise as Suzy in the vocal on Forbin
d2t01 cut at the very beginning of Suzy
d2t03 fuzz in Divided Sky at :27
d2t05 buzz in Dinner & a Movie at :35
d2t06 dropout in ambience/crowd at the end of SOAM
d2t09 click in "give the director"
d2t10 clicks in Antelope intro at 1:38
d2t10 buzzes in speech at end of Antelope
d3t05-6 beginning of Mike's missing
d3t08 buzz in Weekapaug vocal at 6:06
d3t09 cut at beginning of Touch Me (2:30)

The FOB source didn't have cuts in any of the same places as the SBD, so I was able to pretty easily patch over the dropouts listed above. The FOB source has some serious phase issues, but the patches are all short enough that it isn't too noticeable. It's a shame, because otherwise the FOB has good sound. The patches are easily detectable as the sound is a bit different between the two, but overall they're pretty smooth.

The "diginoise" in Suzy and Forbin is actually some kind of distortion in the vocal and is also present on the FOB. The buzzing sound is a collection of closely spaced clicks that I was able to clean up. There is still some distortion present in spots, but it's a lot less obvious and annoying.

I balanced out the levels by increasing the left channel by 5dB from the end of Reba to 2:39 in Golgi, then lowering the left channel by 2dB and the right by 5dB in the first 2/3 of Reba.

I have also put together another set where I've beefed up the sound so that the first set matches the second and third more closely and all of it matches the patches a little better. Enjoy.


Cheers!
