SHNs were decoded to wave and Audition 2.0 was used to reassemble
the tracks back to 1 long wave.  Audition 2.0 was used to align &
synch the SBD & AUD sources.  
- Aud and sbd were synced while working on a dts encoded cd, matrix and audio dvd
- Mixed by [email protected]
- FLAC conversion 17-JAN-2007

Additional Notes:

Bertha is missing on the sbd source ... both the dts and matrix version of this song are a little bright but still very energetic. The static during Around and Around through US Blues is still present but the matrix cancelled it out a little.

The Robert Wagner audience was patched and corrected for speed - the updated version was released as shnid 81494.

As most of the patches to the sbd were during the dead space between songs, I will not be circulating the more complete sbd at this time.

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.
