Grateful Dead 5/28/1977 Hartford Civic Center - Hartford, CT (All AUDIO) Source: AUD (Panasonic AM/FM Stereo boom box like w/condenser mics)> CM (Cassette Masters)> my computer*> CD or DAT @ 44.1kHz Notes: Teddy's Notes: It took me about 48 hours to get just right, but 5/28 is done. I used Richard Plumb's DAT, except for 2nd set "Samson" through "Drums", where I used my master. I was real close starting about 3 minutes into "Samson" & stayed their until NFA. The 1st 3 min. of "Samson" is passable. Rather then break up the song with Richard's then splice in mine after the 1st 3 min., I decided to use my master straight through to the end of "Drums". Richard's DAT has an inferior "Terrapin", so mine is an upgrade. My master is on par with Richard's but a little brighter on the middle & high end but not quite as low on that end. Anyway, it makes for a nice complete show with 'vg' sound quality wise. For all of Set 1 & from "NFA" to the end of Set 2: 2 Sony 54P mics w/ Sennheiser 441 blend mic > Nakamichi 550 cassette deck FOB > reel @ 3 3/4 ips > DAT @ 48kHz > my computer > DAT @ 44.1kHz or CD. For Set 2, "Samson" through "Drums": (Panasonic AM/FM Stereo 'boom box like' w/condenser mics) -> CM (Cassette Masters) -> my computer* -> CD or DAT @ 44.1kHz *See below. 1) Sony 3-head cassette deck (TC-K615S) > 10 band equalizer, "eq". The "eq" settings: 31Hz 62Hz 125Hz 250Hz 500Hz 1kHz 2kHz 4kHz 8kHz 16kHz L:13db 13db 13db 13db 13db 13db 12db 11db 10db 9db R:13db 13db 13db 13db 13db 12db 10db 10db 10db 9db 2) > My computer using "CoolEdit96". 3) "CoolEdit96" noise reduction, just to remove some of the hiss, (after "Get Noise Profile from Selection"). Noise Reduction Level = 4 FTP size = 8192 Number of statistical snapshots in profile = 96 Precision Factor = 10 Smoothing Amount = 1 Transition With = 0 db 4) "GoldWave" equalizer (a touch of bass boost): 60Hz = 4 150Hz = 4 400Hz = 3 5/8/77 Filler I spent today redoing 5/28/77 CDs for our next batch. I also put on the last CD of 5/28, a COMPLETE 5/8/77 Lazy Lightnin'> Supplication from a crisp BBD, plus my master 30 sec. AUD for the missing section. It's beautiful! Douger should like this? Hey Doug, you'll have to sign up for batch #2 to get this one, :). Also, I put together a NEW "5/8/77 'Good Bear' Collage". It's just over 20 minutes long & fits nicely on the last disc of 5/28 too! The "Collage" is highlights of 5/8/77 done my way. The process: 1) Sony 3-head cassette deck (TC-K615S) > 10 band equalizer, "eq".
