Tech Notes

FLAC/SHNs were decoded to wave.  Wavmerge was used to reassemble 
the tracks back to 1 long wave.  CEP2.0 was used to align & 
synch both of the sources.  CEP2.0 used to adjust the volume for 
the center and LFE channels.  Surcode CD Pro DTS was used 
to encode to DTS.

Notes (new approach)

The SBD source had some sector boundary issues.  At every track 
change there was approx. 0.025 seconds of music dropped.  This 
although completely inaudible, made things difficult to synch.  
I had the option to either trim the exact same amount from the 
AUD or "add" the missing portion with a patch from either the SBD 
or the AUD.  In the end I did a combination of all 3.  Because 
this is only a fraction of a second edit the patches are smooth 
and completely undetectable.

This is interesting, check your SBD copies.  This SBD source 
was mysteriously missing approx 1min 56sec of Davied Bowie.  This 
was done with a very clever splice.  I went ahead and patched 
this missing portion with a DAT SBD copy I have had for years.  
I applied 6 second crossfades at each end. This patch is smooth 
and most likely undetectable.

Besides the missing material in the middle of the jam in David 
Bowie the is a source change at approx 10min 35sec. This source 
is sitill SBD but much more "narrow" although still stereo. I went
ahead and patched this with my DAT SBD copy.  Under very close 
scrutiny this source switch may be detectible.

Split Open and Melt uses 3 diffent sources, all in the very 
first minute.  It starts off with approx 37 seconds from an FM 
DAT source some kind unknown person sent me a year or so ago.  
Then switches to approx 25 seconds of a 2 AUD source matrix mix.  
This AKG source plus the AUD source that originally patch the 
whole first minute.  Then at approx 1min 3sec it switches to the 
FM DAT source to complete the song.  These source switches are 
obvious to the listener but is not in jarring or disruptive.  
Several second crossfades were used btwn sources to make the 
transitions as smooth as possible

I applied a gradual step up increase of +8db to the SBD and 
the AUD sources on the acoustic numbers in set 2.  Then a 
gradual step down to the original recording levels.  This is
so you can enjoy the acoustic numbers without increasing the
volume and then blowing your speakers when Mike's Song starts.

This entire show can be rejoined seamlessly on longer media.
