the tracks back to 1 long wave.  Cool Edit Pro 2.0 was used 
to align & synch both of the sources.  CEP2.0 used to adjust 
the volume for the AUD source, center and LFE channels.

Notes

This is all that circulates in the SBD source.

The AUD source was lightly EQ'ed.  A slight high end cut.

The AUD source was a bit overwhelming in the 5.1 mix.  While
I usually leave the levels alone, this time I mixed the AUD
into the rear channels at -3db.   In my experience louder 
rear channels is an undiserable effect.  

AUD Patch Samson approx 4:35 to fill missing part of the SBD
29:58.490 to 31:31.560 total of 01:33.070.  This is somewhat
detectable but hardly.  Which is really a statement to just 
how great the AUD source is.

SBD Patch Drums approx 02:37 to fill missing part of the AUD
44:07.731 to 44:15.904 total of 0:08.172.  This is smooth and
most likely undetectable.

Missing 22.027 crowd on AUD source between Around & Around
and High Time.  SBD trimmed accordingly to match with a 3 
second crossfade.  Smooth and most likely undetectable.

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 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 you would burn any normal 
Audio-CD from .shn files.
