Notes:
This recording has more than 50 decibels of dynamic range. The audience was incredibly well-behaved during this
concert. During the softest passages, you could have probably heard a pin drop; it was really that soft. With
any recording encompassing such wide dynamic range, setting the levels correctly to ensure proper recording of
soft and loud passages can be very difficult. I believe I managed to capture this entire dynamic range, and I
want to pass that same experience on to future listeners. Thus, to ensure that this recording is reproduced
with all of this dynamic range, this music has not been compressed or the volume altered in any way before
rendering to CD and DVD-Audio.

DVD-Audio Primer
A true DVD-Audio places its files in the AUDIO_TS folder of the DVD disc. A true DVD-Audio may have a very basic menu system to help navigate
the song titles. I'll call these DVD-AA -- for DVD-Audio in the Audio_TS folder. Full resolution DVD-Audio may be compressed with a lossless
MLP compression, or uncompressed LPCM.
However, not all DVD players support true DVD-Audio. Other DVD players are capable of playing 96Khz/24-bit audio, but only out of the VIDEO_TS
folders. I'll call these DVD-AV -- for DVD-Audio in the Video_TS folder. These DVD drives are NOT compatible with DVD-Audio, but do provide a
means for you to play these high resolution files. These types of high resolution audio DVDs may have a full-motion menu system, just as you
would see on DVD movie. There is one catch with these Hi-Res audio DVD-V recordings., during audio playback, the video stream is usually black.
Burning DVD-AA
I use WaveLab-6 for burning DVD-Audio. WaveLab-6 will burn an uncompressed DVD-Audio. The catch: It's about $500 (USD). Another catch:
if you create a DVD-Audio master, create an ISO from it, NERO doesn't seem to know how to burn another working DVD-Audio disc from the ISO.
So there's something weird about DVD-Audio ISO's that aren't quite compatible with ISO burning software.

Burning DVD-AV
There are two packages recommended for burning DVD-AV discs.
LPLEX (Free)

LPLEX is free and it works. You're supposed to drag-and-drop your files onto a batch file and it will do the rest. LPlex arranges the files in
alphabetic order, so I've made sure to name my files in such a way that they will be placed in the proper order. LPlex also allows you to
