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.

Taper Notes:

View NotesThis is a matrix, done by hansokolow in ProTools, of the following sources:

SBD: shnid=5227
source: sbd > ? > cdr > eac > shn

Fix of shnid 5227: The overlap between CDs 2 and 3 was deleted to make the transition seamless.  The SHNs were converted to FLAC and shntool was used to clean up SBEs.  Unfortunately archive does not have an AUD that I could use to take care of some of the problems listed below; if you have it, maybe you'd like to take a shot at it.

The original fileset included a declicked version of d2t02, as well as the original, so I'm leaving both in.  Pick yer poison.

notes:
cut/splice in BTW @2:32 and again @4:11
2 drops or cuts in Blow Away @4:27 and 4:28
BTW hung up in EAC - there was a sync error and it took over 6hrs to get this track.  I'm sure it
ain't exactly perfect.
There was a bunch of clicks in Estimated from 3:45 to 3:56, I used Cool Edit Pro to remove them.  Hence the 2 versions of d2t2.  Detection thresholds 13, 12, 10; rejection 11, 10, 8.
shns are from an EAC (secure mode) of audio discs received from Andrew Wigdahl

Recorded by Jeff Hubbard. Transfered Charles Bandrofcheck

-----------------------------------

My Notes: The SBD sounds great, but does have the clicks mentioned, especially in Black Throated Wind.  I cleaned it up a little more, but there will be clicks here and there.  As often happens, the first song has phasing issues, but the rest sounds great, even though the AUD was way slow, each song squeezed by as much as 4%.

Seamless and patched edit of shnid 5227

Taper Notes:

View NotesThe overlap between CDs 2 and 3 was deleted to make the transition seamless.  The SHNs were converted to FLAC and shntool was used to clean up SBEs.  Unfortunately archive does not have an AUD that I could use to take care of some of the problems listed below; if you have it, maybe you'd like to take a shot at it.

Patches were applied to d1t07 and d1t09 from a previous edit that had been burned to CD, then EACed in paranoid mode with 100% accuracy.  See notes at the bottom of this page.

The original fileset included a declicked version of d2t02, as well as the original, so I'm leaving both in.  Pick yer poison.

notes:
- Miss potty mouth took offense to these intrepid tapers recording FOB, she has been removed.
- A fine run to start things off for Spring 1990 aka the Mike Hunt Tour.
- Blow Away, Brent tries to get some set play earlier, but to no avail.  When he does, this pass at Blow Away goes off the rails.  Perhaps why this tour was so good, the boys could still recover.  I encourage one & all to dig into this rendition, the reward at the end is a pot Grateful Gold.
- Set II the boys earn their paycheck
- The calypso driven jam before Drums briefly entertains Eyes of the World.
