The recently issued Yellog Dog boot "A Day In The Life" had serious track
pitch (speed) problems. The values of pitch correction needed for each
track has been posted by a knowledgeable member of the Beatlegs Yahoo group.
Reproduced below is his message to the forum:
"I've had several requests for this, so I'm posting the list here.
The figure I'm using is the value in "cents" by which each track
needs to be increased to bring it into alignment with the cv, zero
being no adjustment and 100 being a half step.
A Day in the Life
RS1 +76 cents
RS2 +83.5 cents
RS3 +77.4 cents
RS4 +64 cents
RS5 +59.3 cents
RS6 +59.3 cents
RS7 +58 cents
RS8 +54 cents
RS9 +50.6 cents
Yes, there is variance. No, I can't explain why, though I have a
couple of theories. I used a section of the cv (from 07.029 -
11.698) to compare with the very same section in each track, give or
take a few hundredths of a second for error, and this is what I came
up with.
The rest of the tracks:
"Norwegian Wood" chat +60.2
Lady Madonna (overdubs) +48.6
While My Guitar Gently Weeps +55.9
Because +53.8
Rain +52.6
Lady Madonna +48.6
Hey Jude +74.1
I used the same technique as on ADITL to arrive at these values,
comparing a section of the cv with the same section from each of
these tracks. For Hey Jude, since it's an outtake and there is no cv
to compare with, I got as close as I could by ear (and a tuned
guitar) to the pitch of the cv, which sounds very nearly in F. This
is the only track I'm really not certain of, obviously, but I think
it's pretty close."
So here are the individual tracks, pitch corrected according to the above
analysis.
