I experimented with it myself some months back, to see how well it might work. Point is, the 6/9 SBD and my 6/9 AUD speeds are somewhat off. I tried some pitch correction and resampling schemes. The SBD vs AUD speed differential slews over the span of the show for 6/9. I recall that it was different for each track. I had to stretch the times a little bit for the 1st set. Then I had to start compressing the times during the 2nd set. This was a big problem. A tape tension error, or a reel-servo error, could cause a problem like this. The matrix would start sounding a bit thick and muddy when I mixed it Samplitude's VIP mode. I was using 60% SDB / 40% AUD mix.
There's only one other partial AUD for 6/9 to compare with. This source is a Nagra, but the mic location really sucks. The taper is way back in the stands. It sounds like he was in the end zone. But I d/l that Loose Lucy anyway, just to compare that tape speed with mine. If I remember correctly, his tape is yet a 3rd and different speed. Never mind this source.
Both my 6/9 and 6/10 AUDs had some tape damage. Also, a couple of the master cassette reels were transplanted into surrogate housings. It was a lot of work doing the transfer. I used my 37-year-old Nak 550. I'm wondering if maybe a fresh transfer from a much better cassette deck might be better. 16 months ago I acquired a very nice Nakamichi LX-3 deck. It has superior tape-handling. It features dual capstan motors for its tape transport.
There's a couple of spots in Kevin's matrix from 6/10 that sound out of sync. I think a matrix should be perfect. If we can get 6/9 matrixed perfectly with a fresh transfer, I can do a fresh transfer of 6/10 the same way, and we can fix that. There's a couple of flaws in my 6/9. Promised Land's crossfade isn't matched well. I've fixed that. Playin' in the Band has a flaw deep into the jam. It's a cut, and I missed that when I remastered it. I think my deck was accidentally paused during taping.

Yeah, I recall that conversation, and thank you for the suggestion. The speed issues you are describing do not sound too problematic for achieving sync throughout the show. I do recall, however, that I tried that 6/9 out and was not digging the results in general - while it is a sweet AUD recording. This was WAY back in '08, I think, so I might hear it differently now. On top of that, I have undergone some unexplainable condition where I feel an overwhelming sense of matrix paralysis, as though Cliff has put a voodoo curse on me or something. I hope I can muster up some matrix powers this year, or forever hold my peace, but there's some strange vibes goin' down here and I think the only solution is binge drinking.

I have my MMJ permit and I'm surrounded by MMJ dispensaries to keep my sanity. Binging on 420 is healthy. Attempting to matrix "perfectly" the 6/9 and 6/10 shows is an act of self-destruction. Might be a couple of weeks of work. Could be suicide. That's why I've avoided this.
