Speed Corrections by Jason Chastain Mastering by Jim Blackwood and Jamie Waddell

View NotesNotes:
Speed corrected using Cool Edit Pro:
- joined wavs using 'Open Append'
- speed/pitch adjusted using 'Pitch Bender'
- re-tracked

The proper pitch was determined by comparing to a guitar tuned to A=440.

d1 through d3t04 adjusted -23 cents
encore d3t05 adjusted +67 cents

The whole show needed the same adjustment, *except for the encore*.  The encore looks like the same source as the rest, but the pitch is clearly different.  The -23 cents correction doesn't bring it in tune like the rest of the show.  A -33 cents correction does bring it into tune, but then Dark Star is in the key of Ab, while it's always played in A.  I highly doubt they actually played it in Ab, and Jerry sounds awfully sluggish.  With this in mind, I found that raising the pitch +67 cents brought it into A, and Jerry sounds normal again.

My guess (just a guess), is that the encore was transferred from a DAT at a different time than the rest of the show, or using different equipment or settings, and a 48khz > 44.1khz conversion was not done properly, introducing the new pitch problem for the encore.  I'm fairly certain that it is correct now though.

"“Yes, I absolutely did see the shooting star at the song’s intro. It whistled through the sky and disappeared behind the eucalyptus trees lining the Greek. MANY people saw it, and it took our breath away (a serious murmur went through the crowd). There’s no way Jerry could have set THAT up!”"
