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 the 3 sources.  SF6.0 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

*Important*  One of my earlier surround mixes. I would no
longer run the center or sub channel this high in the
mix.  This is an easy end-user adjustment and I suggest
you do so.  In other words, decrease the volume on the
center channel and on your sub.

Disc 2 and 3 can be assembled seamlessly on longer media.

Quite a bit of meaningless between song "dead" air was
missing on the SBD source.  The FOB was seamlessly edited
to match.  No music, no stage talk or tuning was missing,
just crowd noise. The result is smooth and most likely
completely undetectable.

1:36.386 of crowd was missing on the SBD source between
Cold, Rain & Snow and Little Red Rooster.

1:22.669 of crowd was missing on the SBD source between
Stagger Lee and Me & My Uncle.

0:01.879 of crowd was missing on the SBD source between
Samson & Delilah and High Time.

0:11.655 of crowd was missing on the SBD source between
Gloria and Day Job.

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 CD/DVD player.

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