Notes From Tim Backstrom:
The seating was open floor.  We were centrally located on the floor right behind the soundboard.  The deck used was a TEAC cassette deck with Dolby and selectable tape bias (I don't know the model number) powered by a motorcycle battery and a DC/AC inverter.  Dolby was used.  The selectable bias permitted me to shift from the Maxell UD's to the BASF chrome tape just before the Weather Report Prelude -> Dark Star -> Eyes of the World ->
Playing in the Band jam.  I'm pretty sure the microphones were Beyers,but I don't know the model.  Only one mic was used for the second set because some stoned hippie accidentally kicked one of the jacks between sets and we could not repair it without a soldering iron.

the tracks back to 1 long wave.  Audition 2.0 was used to align &
synch the SBD & both AUD sources.  Audition 2.0 used to adjust the volume for both AUDs, matrix/CTR and LFE channels.  Surcode

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.
