2) 15 minutes into Dark Star, 1 minute and 17.281 was missing from the Audience and was filled in with audio from the soundboard.

3) 21 minutes into Dark Star, 41.837 was missing from the Audience and was filled in with audio from the soundboard.
 
4) At the end of Saint Stephen, 1.048 was missing from the Audience and was filled in with audio from the soundboard.

5) 1 minutes into The Eleven, 07.045 was missing from the Audience and was filled in with audio from the soundboard.

7) 3 minutes into High Time, 3 minutes and 05.483 was missing from the Audience and was filled in with audio from the soundboard. 

8) I used the soundboard as the timing reference as the audience lineage was "4th generation".

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.

Master Soundboard Reel > Cass > DAT > CD > EAC (secure) > mkwACT > SHN (no SBE's)

View Notesmuch less hiss than the previously circulating "SBcass > DAT > CDR"

Discs were generously supplied by Seth Kaplan

EAC>SHN transfer by Steve Barbella 3/02
EAC secure test and copy, offsets config'd, 100% track quality
SHNs created via MKW v.97 (seek enabled)
shntool used to verify the sectors...they were fine.

Deadlists Comments:  The newly circulating CDs transcribe Latvala's cassette copy of the master reels.  The cassette has a flip about 11 minutes in to the Dark Star but Latvala must have put some overlap on B because there is no cut audible on the well-produced CD.  

A 41 minute fragment from this tape has circulated for years, usually mislabeled "Family Dog 8/29/69" but sometimes also mislabeld "Family Dog 6/5/69" or "Fillmore West 6/5/69."  This fragment contains the last 17:50 of Dark Star through the first 3:28 of High Time.

Patched and pitch corrected audience (44/16)

View NotesFirst 10 minutes of Dark Star, the 28 second cut at about 22 min and the last 3 minutes of the orginal audience were replaced using the soundboard. The recording was way slow - about 2 seconds per minute as compared to the soundboard which I used as the timing reference.

View NotesNotes:
First 10:38 of Dark Star missing
At 11:13 into the Dark Star, there was a 28 second cut
Last 3:30 of High Time missing

Per Steve Martin " It was on Ampex tape and had horrible stiction, flaking, and oxide coming off on the head. I baked it a couple times and ended up using Q-tips and Everclear as an alcohol base to get it to playback."

View NotesCaveat Auditor: The sound is pretty rough, this certainly does 
NOT upgrade ID-8594. However, as an example of an early audience 
recording, it does have historical interest. This is likely the 
same "mislabled fragment" that is referred to on Deadlists.

The lineage was listed as: Aud Master > Reel > Latvala's Reel > 
Cassette > Seaweed's cassette (4th gen). The recording is mono. 
There are some cuts that were left un-repaired: Dark Star 2:21 
(a lot missing), Dark Star 7:11, St. Stephen 6:27 (tiny skip), 
and The Eleven 1:13. Small FLAC sizes due to mono WAV data.
