• Mickey Hart wears a NoNoise t-shirt in 1990 -- Ugh

    The new Dave's Picks 40 July 18-19 1990 has a picture of Mickey Hart
    wearing a t-shirt with the NoNoise logo on it. Boo!

    Noise Reduction is a software program invented in 1987 as revisionist processing to music, to reduce or eliminate "noise" ie: tape hiss.
    "Noise reduction" is now a generic term for audio software with a
    deservedly bad reputation, it was, and is undesirable from the
    listener viewpoint, though it varies with how bad it is by how much it
    is applied. Use a little and it muffles a little, use a lot and it
    muffles a lot. The first thing noise reduction removes is the ambience,
    and with increasing noise reduction the more it muffles the notes and
    makes quiet sections sound particularly bad. It distorts and can insert squeals and all sorts of errant noises into music. Additional noise
    reduction is often used to attempt to clean the artifacts introduced by
    "noise reduction", and artificial ambience and radical EQ changes may be
    used to attempt to conceal the lousy noisy distorted sound caused by
    "noise reduction" software: all of this just to "reduce tape hiss!"

    I wonder if Hart's Jewish heritage had him supporting NoNoise, and
    did he push or was pushed by Jewish managed Warner Brothers to promote
    Sonic Solutions NoNoise on at least some of the Grateful Dead CDs
    like the first Live/Dead CD (still the only CD of Live/Dead with the
    original mix) or A Long Strange Trip? Well, the NoNoise on the GD CDs
    is relatively mild only because I have heard much worse. Anyways,
    Question Authority! Down with Noise Reduction!

    The term Noise Reduction appears like it was used by software
    companies in 1987 to mislead people into thinking it had something to
    do with Dolby Noise Reduction when actually they are unrelated. In
    addition, there is something dishonest about using the term "restoration"
    in overprocessing music when the intended effect is revisionism.

    Were you aware that it was a Sonic Solutions NoNoise t-shirt (or is it?)?
    Since that company was from Marin County, where the Grateful Dead lived
    at the time, there may be a relation. Sonic Solutions came from Lucas engineers, so it had been promoted by the press as "hi-tech" like the movie Star Wars was supposed to be.
