Notes on the Source Material

SBD (ShnID = 87643)
Another flawless transfer by Charlie Miller.  The cassette master
SBD has a bit more hiss than most.  It was also missing just about
all the between song crowd/tuning and actually clipped a milli-
second or so off the very beginning of a few songs in set 1.  
Charlie did a good job crossfading what crowd there was to make
a more natural song to song transition.  This made it difficult
for me to patch these cuts with the AUD but it isn't too bad.

AUD1 (ShnID = 31211)
Ted Mattes made a spectacular FOB.  Full, rich and dynamic with 
everyone nicely in the mix and a good feel for the room and the vibe.

Tech Notes

FLACs were decoded to wave. Wavemerge was used to reassemble the 
entire show back to 1 long wave.  CEP2.0 was used to align & sync 
both of the sources.  SF8.0 used to EQ and adjust the volume for the 
center, surround and LFE channels.  Surcode CD Pro DTS was used to 
encode to DTS.

to reduce this analog hiss.  The AUD recording was then used to 
fill out this frequency range.  See notes.

Notes

The entire show is seamless and can be burned in any config that
you want and can be played back in its entirety from start to
finish without interruption.

The SBD had an unusually apparent analog hiss for a cassette
master.  I was able to successfully reduce this by applying a very
narrow high frequency notch filter.  I then took that same 
frequency range from the AUD source and patched it into the SBD 
by mixing the 2 sources together.  The results were very nice and 
that analog hiss is now inaudible and the SBD still has a full
frequency range.

d1t01 "Tuning" the SBD source started very abruptly. This was 
fixed with a lead in patch from the AUD source and a crossfade 
to the SBD source.

d1t02 - d1t09 Just about all the between song crowd was missing 
and actually clipped a milli-second or so off the very beginning 
of a few songs in set 1.  I patched these missing portions with
the AUD source and crossfaded back to the SBD right at the
point the song starts.  In most cases this is completely inaudible 
but a couple of these patches and transistions can be heard.

d3t01 "Space" there is a tape flip and is missing approx 15 secs.
This was patched using entirely the AUD source.

More On DTS

Today's audio standards are moving towards multi-channel sound
like DTS, Dolby Digital and DVD-Audio.  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 CD/DVD player.

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