Lineage: Master Reel> VHS (PCM)> DAT> CD> SHN

Note: While a "master reel" seems unlikely for 1988 (the VHS is more likely the master tape), the frequency spectrum suggests that this is indeed a pre-broadcast reel, with content above 15K Hz.

Audio Patches:

1) At the beginning of soundboard, 30.988 seconds were missing from the SBD1 source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source.

2) At the beginning of Space, 39.533 seconds were missing from the AUD source and was filled in with audio from the SBD2 source.

3) During the crowd chant before the encore, 1 minute and 16.530 seconds were missing from the AUD source and was filled in with audio from the SBD2 source.

4) As this matrix was made to use with video of set 1, both AUD\SBD sources were synced to video source for set 1. The AUD speed was almost identical to video so it was used as reference for set 2. The SBD1 source ran slightly slow at about .5% or .100 seconds per minute minute.

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.
