Tech Notes

I used EAC in secure mode to extract all tracks at 100%
no reported errors.  Cool Edit Pro 2.0 was used to align &
synch both sources.  CEP2.0 used to adjust the volume
for the center and LFE channels.  Surcode CD Pro DTS was
used to encode to DTS.  -3db was NOT applied to the rear
channels.  Both of the  sources for the front and rear 
channels were left at their original levels.

Notes

Known Flaws: 
1.2 second digital error at approx. 10:35 to 10:37 in Scarlet 
was patched using my 10 year old DAT copy that was labeled: 
SBD: Master Reel > DAT.  The result is smooth and most likely
undetectable.

Crowd cheer/tuning between Estimated and St. Stephen was missing 
on the AUD source.  I used a "crowd cheer/tuning" from another 
portion of the same Aud recording.  I also shortened the overall 
length by a minute.  No music is missing and it came out sounding 
smooth and natural.

The first set was riddled with btwn song cuts and had several 
cuts in songs on both the SBD and the AUD.  It is possible to 
make a DTS and a matrix mix for set one but the final result 
will be very "choppy".  Maybe someday but for now, enjoy this!

More On DTS

Today's audio standards are moving towards multi-channel sound, 
like DTS and Dolby Digital.  While the Audio-CD standard (Red Book) 
hasn't changed to accommodate these new sound formats, it is still 
possible to go around the specification and to put a 5.1 surround 
recording on a regular Audio-CD.  To play a DTS-Audio-CD you must 
connect your DVD/CD player via a digital cable (optical or coaxial) 
to your DTS Dolby-Digital receiver. It is not 100% sure that your 
receiver will recognize a DTS-Audio CD, so the first time you're 
trying to playback a DTS-Audio-CD you must do a test to determine 
if it can. Begin with the volume very low, start the disc and rise 
the volume gradually. NEVER listen to a DTS-Audio-CD through the 
analogue audio outputs of your CDDVD player.

Burning Instructions
Burn them the absolute same way as you would burn any normal Audio-CD 
from .shn files.
