Tech Notes

FLAC/SHNs were decoded to wave.  Wavmerge was used to reassemble
the tracks back to 1 long wave.  CEP2.0 was used to align &
synch both of the sources.  CEP2.0 used to adjust the volume
for the SBD & AUD. This is a 65% SBD, 35% AUD mix.
- Mixed by dan@am-dig.com
- FLAC conversion done 01-JAN-2006
- Artwork at 300dpi by dan@am-dig.com
- For best results print at the highest resolution onto glossy
photo paper.  Design for use in a clear quad jewel case.

---------------------------------------------------------

Notes (new approach)

The SBD source had some sector boundary issues.  At every track
change there was approx. 0.025 seconds of music dropped.  This
although completely inaudible, made things difficult to synch.
I had the option to either trim the exact same amount from the
AUD or "add" the missing portion with a patch from either the SBD
or the AUD.  In the end I did a combination of all 3.  Because
this is only a fraction of a second edit the patches are smooth
and completely undetectable.

This is interesting, check your SBD copies.  This SBD source
was mysteriously missing approx 1min 56sec of Davied Bowie.  This
was done with a very clever splice.  I went ahead and patched
this missing portion with a DAT SBD copy I have had for years.
I applied 6 second crossfades at each end. This patch is smooth
and most likely undetectable.

Besides the missing material in the middle of the jam in David
Bowie the is a source change at approx 10min 35sec. This source
is sitill SBD but much more "narrow" although still stereo. I went
ahead and patched this with my DAT SBD copy.  Under very close
scrutiny this source switch may be detectible.

Split Open and Melt uses 3 diffent sources, all in the very
first minute.  It starts off with approx 37 seconds from an FM
DAT source some kind unknown person sent me a year or so ago.
Then switches to approx 25 seconds of a 2 AUD source matrix mix.
This AKG source plus the AUD source that originally patch the
whole first minute.  Then at approx 1min 3sec it switches to the
FM DAT source to complete the song.  These source switches are
obvious to the listener but is not in jarring or disruptive.
Several second crossfades were used btwn sources to make the
transitions as smooth as possible

I applied a gradual step up increase of +8db to the SBD and
the AUD sources on the acoustic numbers in set 2.  Then a
gradual step down to the original recording levels.  This is
so you can enjoy the acoustic numbers without increasing the
volume and then blowing your speakers when Mike's Song starts.

This entire show can be rejoined seamlessly on longer media.

Tech Notes

FLAC/SHNs were decoded to wave. Wavmerge was used to reassemble
the tracks back to 1 long wave. CEP2.0 was used to align &
synch both of the sources. CEP2.0 used to adjust the volume
for the SBD & AUD. Soundforge 8.0 was used to convert the
sample rate from 44.1 to 48k. CEP was used to do the multitrack
mixdown to 24/48. DiscWelder was used to author and create the
DVD-Audio in 24/48. DVD Decryptor read and created the ISO
image file. This incorporates 2 channels of 24/96 wave files.
This is a 65% SBD, 35% AUD mix
- Mixed by dan@am-dig.com
- FLAC conversion done 01-JAN-2006
- Artwork at 300dpi by dan@am-dig.com
- For best results print at the highest resolution onto glossy
photo paper. Design for use with a clear slim DVD case (inner
and outer DVD artwork included).

This represents the 24 bit files that are the result of all my
editing and the multitrack mixdown preserved in 24 bit. It is
unclear exactly what we have in the way of high resolution.
However it seems what we have here would not be represented
accurately in 16/44. What you are getting is the full result
of the matrix mix process. How much different does this sound?
is this better? A little and yes. This is more accurate and
has more dynamic range. 24/48 resolution versus a 16/44 of
the same material will usually result in very subtle but
important differences. Most of it relying on the quality of
the DVD-A player and the D to A conversion. With that in
mind, this 24 bit copy is no different. Small but important
gains over the same material in 16/44. This is just one
man's take. Take it or leave it.
