It was more like a straight SBD but with the usual missing info above 16k and minimal dynamic range. All DJ chatter and station ID's have been meticulously removed. These edits are completely inaudible. These are differnt than many of my matrix mix efforts in that quite a bit of DSP has been performed. The FM broadcasted sounded very good. At first I really liked the in-your-face sound but after 20 minutes or so the heavy compression ultimately tired my ears out. Large dynamics are part of a Grateful Dead concert experice and so it was left sounding artifical. The other broadcast was very sterile and flat with no feel for a live experience. Additionally the mix was lacking Bruce and Jeff. The sound processing effort paid huge dividens alone but combining the 2 differnt broadcasts is what really made the differnce. The final result iss a great sounding SBD source that just need some life breathed into it with the FOB. Although the broadcast sources were received at 16/44 it seems likely they were broacast at lower resolutions but obviosuly still in the high quality range. The high end (cymbols) are tight and not brittle. Plus with all the DSP and the mixdown of 3 sources means this will no longer show any signs of suspect compression. This is a great sounding source and will do nicely until the band puts out the multitracks. Enjoy, Dan (aka amdig1) ---------- -- Additional Formats This show is available in the following formats: 1. The SBD and the AUD sources listed above. 2. SBD+AUD Matrix Mix at 16/44 CD-Audio 3.
