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. CEP was used to do the 
multitrack mixdown to 24/96.  This is a 60% SBD, 20% AUD1,
20% AUD2 mix.  DiscWelder was used to author and create the 
DVD-Audio in 24/96.  DVD Decryptor read and created the ISO 
image file.  This incorporates 2 channels of 24/96 wave files.

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.

This represents the 24 bit files that are the result of all 
my editing and the multitrack mixdown. It is unclear exactly 
what we have in the way of high resolution. However it seems 
there is agreement that what we have cannot 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.  24/96 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.

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.

Burning Instructions A & B

A. Use DVD Decryptor or similar program to burn as an image 
file (ISO) onto a DVDR.  Enjoy.

B. This may also circulate as 2 channel FLAC files and will
require assembly.  Included is the discwelder file. If you 
use that program, decode all the FLAC file and stick them in 
a folder. Click on the DiscWelder file (which will open 
DiscWelder) and point it towards that folder with the wave 
files and VIOLA! DVD-A pre-assembled and ready to author.

I removed a "click" sound I mistakenly added to the AUD-only portion of Supplication at 0:06. I fixed this by patching in the unscathed AUD there, rather than using a de-clicker filter. This "click" had always driven me nuts and warranted a fixing.

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 raise the volume 
gradually. NEVER listen to a DTS-Audio-CD through the 
analog 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.

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?

Just so, hopefully, nobody can misunderstand what they got: Came off my cassette master, except for Scarlet/Fire, on which my master had speed fluctuations. THAT part came off another cassette, that had been patched out of the 153 at the show. I took those two cassette masters, and made a 10 inch reel copy, 7.5 ips, Dolby B, this within a few days of the show itself. That reel, BTW, I would call a "2nd generation" copy, though most people would call it "1st" - rule of thumb, if you see one of my own old lineages, subtract a generation to translate to current taper-speak. That 10 inch reel copy is what Rob Berger transferred, and what a lot of you have, and are hopefully enjoying."
