Notes on the Source Material

SBD (shnID = 75772)
This is another strange 1991 SBD.  Let me explain.  Quite a few 
digital SBD's for the 1991 year are in circulation.  I am sure 
some of you have noticed a sorta strange sound quality to them.  
What makes them sound they way they do is unknown to me.  I'd 
call them too digital.  They tip-toe along the edge of blurry.  
If I had to guess I would think a portable DAT deck was being fed 
an analog signal into the line in.  And although the levels were 
set appropriately the deck was overloaded by 'too hot' a feed 
from the SBD.  

AUD1 (shnID = 96398)
Nice and well balanced FOB.  This upfront FOB grabs quite a bit
of the sound but not as much atmosphere as you'd like for making
a matrix mix. However, this does help the sterile, straight SBD
out quite a bit.  While it doesn't completely fix the strange
"digitally" sound of the SBD it does help quite a bit.

AUD2 (shnID = 98392)
Another great sounding AUD.  I love it when multiple source can be 
used to make a 5.1 and a stereo matrix.  This doubles the options 
for the multichannel mixdown and also allows for more flexibility 
in the 5.1.  Not just the standard SBD front and AUD in the rear.  
This also allows me to do high rez mixdown for each of the 6 
channels as well as a high rez stereo mixdown of all 3 sources.

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.  SF8.0 was used for the EQ setting
for the CTR and LFE channels. SF8.0was used to perform the hard 
limiting on the LFE channel.  Surcode CD Pro DTS was used to 
encode to DTS.   This incorporates 6 channels of DTS encoded 
16/44 wave files.

More On DTS

Today's audio standards are moving towards multi-channel sound
like DTS, Dolby Digital and DVD-Audio.  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 rise the volume gradually. NEVER
listen to a DTS-Audio-CD through the analogue 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.
