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.

Only minor patching - 1st set had some additional dead air between songs to match audience tracks. 
2nd set had about a minute at the start of Space, another 30 seconds close to the end of Space and then
1 min and 30 seconds close to the end of Truckin'. Speedwise the soundboard was slightly fast compared to both audience.

Patch on Disc 1, track 6 from 0:00 - 0:36, pulled from aud shnid 31991
Tiny digital blip on Disc1, track 4 at about 01:45..on my DAT.

On only other complete sbd, shnid 2422, audio files are compressed and have
little or no dynamic range. 
This upgrade has natural dynamic range, with better clarity and stage presence.

View NotesreMaster notes:
- lineage has been confirmed.
- the first 30 seconds or so of s1t01 on source DAT was water damaged, that portion was dropped & replaced with a patch from 90977.
- s1t01 levels were on the high side, causing saturation as the band went into Jack Straw.  This was normalized -4.0db
- All digi static has been patched.
- I used a different patch source for greater transparency.
- no pitch correction was performed

Notes:
- Night six of a nine night run at the world's most famous arena.
