Fix of shnid 14486

gd1991-03-27.sbd.harrison-braverman.ladner.10310.shnf

View NotesI used the FOB on archive.org (shnid 28390) to patch 40 seconds of tape flip in drums (from about 2:00), then to patch another few seconds that were missing in the transition from CD 2 to CD 3. The 2nd set is now seamless. SBEs were fixed using shntool and all SHNs converted to FLAC. I chose a quiet place between drums and space to make the transition between CDs 2 and 3, so no fade tracks were necessary.

All patches were done in CE Pro with crossfades. AUD patch source was time/pitch stretched to 98.78%.

** REPAIR NOTES **
There were sector boundary errors on d1t09, all of disc 2, and the last 2 tracks of disc 3.  To correct these, the SHN's were converted to WAV and then the resulting wav's were grouped by set (d1 and d2+d3) and fixed using the command "shntool fix *.wav" run on all of the wav files for each set.  Shntool 1.01 was used.  Shorten 1.4 was used to make SHN's from the wav's.  

I also removed the dropout from d2t02 using soundforge 5.  The resulting fixed wavs were compressed back to SHN and new md5's were made - Chris L.

gd1991-03-27.133608.Nak300s-Senn441s.Fitzy.Keo.Flac2496

View NotesNotes:

The SBD source was pitch corrected faster, between 0.8% and 0.6%.

The SBD mix fluctuates a little for the first couple of songs.

Two SBD dropouts, in Minglewood Blues and Row Jimmy, were patched with the AUD.

Some static in Row Jimmy was cleaned up.

The UltraMatrix SBD source became noticeably dryer beginning with Loose Lucy, which allowed for higher AUD levels in the mix, and even higher thereafter.

For a minute during Drums, 0:50 - 1:50, the AUD source suddenly picks up a distinct echo effect from the PA, also present in the other AUD tapes. (The SBD and AUD sources are not out of sync for this section of the matrix.)

"Apocalypse Now" bass effects begin midway into Space.

Very light EQ applied, with a few areas receiving slightly different configurations in the SBD.
