The audio version is three discs. The SHN files were created from audio files on a PC. No step of DAE (Digital Audio Extraction) from an audio CD was performed. Complete show An ESP experiment show; the second Betty Board; first show without Mickey Hart. genealogy of this recording: 7" two track BBD reel w/ Dolby A @ 7 1/2 ips > PCM501ES @ 44.055 kHz PCM501ES analog out > Fostex D5 @ 48 kHz (Dolby not decoded?) > WAV > Cool Edit Pro (filtering and sample rate conversion) > SHN data files (seed) The recording is in mono, and reflects very occasional analog tape flaws such as bursts of flutter. These flaws are from the master. The lineage information available states that Dolby A decoding was not performed, but the sound is nevertheless very good and does not sound compressed. As with the other Port Chester recordings, a slight whine comes and goes throughout the recording. We have applied a very light notch filter as needed. The filtering was accomplished using Cool Edit Pro, and consisted of a sequence of notch filters at and around 8k, approximately 1 kHz wide and only 2 db in depth. The filtering was mainly during the in-between banter but also on the songs where required - more so in the 2nd set. In The Other One there were two short bursts of static that appear to have come from the stage, and these were reduced in level. No other filtering was performed. As indicated in the set list, Bird Song is cut. There are also several cuts on the master during crowd noise before Truckin' starts the first set, but who cares? Indicated timings are of the music, not of the track. 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 The Grateful Dead Capitol Theatre Port Chester, NY February 20, 1971 Disc 1 (set I) 1.

I cleaned up the interference in the form of an annoying whine in the same manner as I did other Port Chester shows (2/18,2/21,2/23,2/24). However, I used two different programs to do so. For disks 1 and 2, I used Diamond Cut Audio Restorations Tools Notch Filter, with a filter width of 0.03 to 0.04 octaves, centered on ~8000 Hz, or wherever the whine happened to be. I used Sound Forge Noise Reduction Plugin, centering on the whine, for disc 3. Why two different programs? I began work on this show about a month ago. I recently purchased the DCART program after hearing it being widely regarded as one of the best (affordable) programs out there for cleaning up audio. Let your ears judge which is best if you can tell the difference. I found the DCART notch filter to be the better tool for the job, while the SFNR plugin is flexible enough to be used as a notch filter. I also realized long after I was into cleaning this show up that others have done so before me on this particular show. I'd be interested in any feedback as to how my show compares to other efforts! I used the narrowest filters I could without going bonkers. In some sections of the show the whine wandered quickly, forcing me to use lots of different filters over a small portion of the show.

See http://members.home.net/orf/notch.html for details. Remastered by Leigh Orf Notes: The short story: 1) I removed the whine (~8000 kHz tone at about +25 dB) from this show that was present with the source reels using Sonic Foundry's Noise Reduction algorithm, as I did with the earlier uploaded Port Chester shows (2/18 and 2/21). For an explanation of the noise and how I removed it, see http://members.home.net/orf/notch.html 2) There are a couple of very minor dropouts/glitches which I have cleaned up as well as I can. These occurred when the DAT tape was "ripped" to disk. 3) This show is as good as you're gonna get as far as I know because of the NR and the excellent remastering from the originnal reels! 4) I've kept in all the intersong tuning/whatever. I figure others can edit them down if the wish. I like having it there, sometimes funny things are said and done :) plus you can always just hit FFWD on your CD player remote to get to the next song! The long story with regards to 2) above: The DAT tape, a clone from the "whatever became of the bettys" tree a while back, was borrowed and was read in on an old SGI indigo which has firmware which can read DAT audio tapes and dump them to 48 kHz AIFF files. Alas, I do not own a DAT machine and digital sound card, but I am saving my money! Anyhow, the error correction on the SGI DAT drive was pretty crappy, and there were a few dropouts/glitches on the read which lasted anywhere from less than 1/75 s to a second or two. I have at my behest a professional quality DAT machine at a community radio station I volunteer for (WORT) and brought my home tape deck in which is a Harmon Kardon TD 4600, one of the earlier Dolby S decks (WORT does not have a computer with a digital sound card). It is a very good deck for analogue. The DAT deck at WORT was able to handle *almost* all of the bad spots that were not handled well by the SGI. I made a dobly S copy of the bad spots, and pasted over (using an analogue AWE64 Soundblaster to go A->D) the glitches/droputs on the SGI read using Sound Forge. The result is as good as i could do. You won't even hear most of the original glitches, and the ones that remain were due to bad spots on the DAT, that the WORT deck was unable to handle. Bear in mind that the total amount I had to paste over represent a total of about 15 seconds across the entire show, and I was able to 'fix' 99% of them completely. There are one or two dropouts/bad reads that are very short (mostly in Casey Jones which Betty fucked up anyway ;) For the curious I left about 1 second of the original noise that I filtered out. It's at the very very end of track 1 on disk 2 after the crowd noise fades.
