Tech Notes
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
pre mixdown. SF8.0 was used for the EQ setting pre mixdown.
This is a 60% SBD, 40% AUD mix.

Notes
Set 2 only. Set one circulates incomplete so I didn't bother.
What we have is short but very sweet. I always thought of this
set as the "most perfect Dead set ever played". The set list is
genius, the transitions effortless and the playing inspired.
d1t01 "Hitchcock Theme Tuning" was missing from the AUD source.
This was patched was created with the SBD matrixed with a repeating
crowd cheer. This patch came out smooth and natural and is very
likely completely undetectable.
d1t07 "Drums" is almost completely missing from the AUD source.
This was patched was created with the SBD matrixed with a repeating
crowd cheer. Mostly undetectable and not too distracting.
d1t10 "Franklin's Tower" the very end is cut on the AUD source.
This was patched was created with the SBD matrixed with a repeating
crowd cheer. This patch came out smooth and natural and is very
likely completely undetectable.
d1t11 "One More Saturday Night" the very end is cut on the AUD source.
This was patched was created with the SBD matrixed with a repeating
crowd cheer. This patch came out smooth and natural and is very
likely completely undetectable.
d1t12 "U.S. Blues" The crowd cheer btwn the last song and the encore
was missing on both the SBD and AUD sources. Crossfades were added
to both sources to keep things flowing smooth and natural. This is
is undetectable other than the fact that it sounds like there was
an extremely short break for the encore.
There was very little audio above 8kHz. So I did a matrix mix just
the high frequencies of the SBD. I DEQ'd the AUD and cut all
frequencies above 8kHz. I also DEQ'd the SBD and cut all frequencies
below 8kHz. Then I mixed the 2 sources at a 100/100 ration. Basically
the SBD fills in the missing top shelf of the AUD source. This came
out extremely well and left the AUD source in the rear channel with
a full frequency range without really changing the sound and feel for
what is a very nice AUD recording.

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.
