Tech Notes

SHNs were decoded to wave and SF 6.0 was used to reassemble 
the tracks back to 1 long wave.  CEP2.0 was used to align & 
synch the SBD & AUD sources.  CEP2.0 used to adjust the volume
for the SBD, AUD, center and LFE channels.  Surcode CD Pro

Notes

D1 the right channel was slightly lower on the SBD source.  
I bumped them up 1.5db to match the left channel. Set 2
was fine, no adjustments.

D2 and D3 can be assembled seamlessly on longer media.

Both the SBD and the AUD sources had breaks bwtn the D2 
and D3 change.  Fortunately at different spots.  I patched
the missing SBD portion, approx 5 seconds, with the AUD.  I 
patched the missing AUD portion, approx 2 seconds, with the 
SBD.  The result was smooth and most likely unnoticeable.

I ran the center channel lower than usual (-4.5db) for this 
DTS 5.1 mix.  

The levels on the AUD source were slightly higher than the 
SBD source.  This would have sounded strange so I reduced 
the AUD by -1.5db.

There was approx 1:10 of crowd cut btwn the last song and
the encore on the AUD source.  I trimmed the SBD accordingly 
b/c it wasn't worth the effort to patch crowd cheer.  It
still sounds pretty smooth anyway.

If you play this DTS-Audio-CD and hear static it is b/c you 
didn't really read the text file, did you?

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 .shn files.
