Tech Notes

SHNs were decoded to wave and SF 6.0 was used to reassemble 
the tracks back to 1 long wave.  CEP2.0 was used to align & 
synch the SBD & both AUD sources.   CEP2.0 used to adjust the 
volume for the SBD & both AUDs. This is a 60% SBD, 20% AUD1,
20% AUD2 mix.

Notes

I looked at the 4 pages of notes I had on this project and
it made me sick to think about typing them up.  So, although
not complete, you will get a good idea of what was done to
bring these recordings to this point.

ALLOT of editing was done to keep the flow btwn songs.  Both
AUD recordings suffered from btwn song pauses that not only
cut the crowd cheer out but clipped the beginning of many
songs. The 2 AUD source coverage allowed my to patch 1 with
the other in some situations.  A couple spots I created a 
fake AUD recording by mixing crowd cheer with the SBD. This 
was effective at creating patches for the rear channels in 
the 5.1 presentation but also maintained a smooth quality in 
the stereo matrix mix as well.  These patches are numerous 
and I think completely smooth and most likely undetectable.

The SBD+AUD matrix details.  The stereo matrix it is approx
60% SBD, 20% Jerry Moore's AUD and 20% Steve Maizner's AUD.
The matrix mix on the center channel is a 50/50 with just 
the SBD and Steve Maizner's AUD.  I also D'EQ'd both sources 
to pull up the vocals and give the center channel a unique 
sound as not to detract from the front stereo imaging or the
rear surround effect. You will also note that the rear channels
are just Jerry's AUD and not a matrix of the 2 AUD sources.  I
did give that configuration a listen but opted for the single 
rear source.  It was clearer and had more definition on its own.

d1t01 The first 16.041 seconds of Minglewood blues was cut on
the SBD.  Starting this monster project with an unrecoverable
flaw was unacceptable to me.  I decided to patch that opening
portion with a SBD and AUD recording from 5-7-77.  As this
patch ends you will hear some slight phasing as the stereo 
field moves.  The result, although not perfect, I think 
provides the listener with a more enjoyable and natural 
listening experience.  Maybe you disagree.  For those of you 
who would rather have a patch using a matrix mix of the 2 AUD 
sources please feel free to do it yourself :^)

d1t07-08 The SBD is missing approx 34.361 from 42:47.001 - 
43:16.362.  This was patched using a matrix mix of the 2 AUD 
sources and then EQ'ed to best match the sound spectrum of
the SBD.  I also tried to match the volume on the SBD.  A
switch in sources is obvious to the listener but this is 
still pretty good.  The switch back to SBD is actually 
really good as there are no vocals at that point.

d2t02 A tiny right channel digital sizzle at 12:18.418.
This was fixed using a quick channel swap.   This is smooth 
and most likely undetectable.

If you play this DTS-Audio-CD and hear static it is b/c you 
didn't really read the text file, did you?
