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.

EAC secure test and copy, offsets config'd, 100% track quality

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.

Taper Notes:

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.

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."

Taper Notes:

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.
