Format: "Engineered For Headphone Use" - This recording is binaural due to the use of the Neumann KU-100 mannequin microphone. Because of this, headphones are strongly recommended as this will place the sound at the listener's ears as it was incident upon the manenquin microphone's ears during recording. Using headphones will also eliminate any cross-talk that may otherwise occur when played back over loudspeakers. If loudspeakers are used for playback, best results will be obtained when seated in close proximity to the speakers, seated equidistant between them. However, best results and greatest spatial realism will be realized when headphones are used. Moreover, optimum realism will be experienced with headphones that approximate FEC (Free-air equivalent coupling) behavior as defined by Moller, Rozenn Nicole et al. Examples of these headphones include (but are not limited to) AKG Type K1000, Beyerdynamic DT 990, and the STAX SR-Lambda Electrostatic.

Fingerprints and Checksums: FFP and MD5 data files were created using Trader's Little Helper.

Track Splits: The files have been segmented into Disc I and Disc II content so that they may be written to two stand-alone CD volumes. Tracks were chosen to result in two CDs of the approximate overall length. Note that in the lists shown below, the original track numbers have been used. Thus, for Disc II, track 17 ("The Resistance") would equate to Disc II, track 01, and track 18 ("Brother Down") would equate to Disc II, track 02, and so on. However, the disc numbers and track numbers are part of the syntax of the files, that is, the file name "srb2009-11-28d01t03.ku100.headphone.flac" indicates that this is Sam Roberts Band, recorded November 28, 2009, disc 01, track 03". The other parts of the file name reflect the type of microphone used (ku-100) and the preferred playback method (headphones).

CD Recommendations: Because FLAC is a fully lossless format, FLAC-format files are recommended for CD creation as the FLAC files can be fully restored to wav format before the CDs are written. The user may choose to create CDs from the other lossy formats provided herein (vbr mp3, Ogg Vorbis), however, a loss of fidelity will result as both vbr mp3 and Ogg Vorbis are lossy formats and as such, cannot be reconstructed to the original content found in the parent wav files. Consult the web for a list of programs that can read and convert FLAC-formatted files to other formats. The originator of these files used dBpoweramp to create the FLAC versions from the parent wav format files; said program can convert the FLAC files herein back to wav (or various other formats).

Track Edits: Disc I, Track 01: fade in. All other tracks on Disc I are are 'hard' edits with no fade. Disc II, track 26: fade out. All other tracks on Disc II are 'hard' edits with no fade. All edits have been performed so as to leave the tracks as intact as possible. In general, any given track starts after introductory banter but includes audience applause at the end of each track.
