Schoeps CMC64V ORTF DFC at board(about 20 feet from stage) -> 25 feet AudioMagic Xtreme silver XLR mic cable ->
Grace Lunatec V2 -> 1m AudioMagic silver XLR signal cable -> Sonic AD2K+ 24 bit/48KHz ->
1m Audiomagic Presto II silver S/PDIF cable -> Digigram VXPocket soundcard -> Sonic Foundry Vegas Audio 2.0a ->
Monkey's Audio Compressor v3.86b2(Lossless data compression - high setting) -> Winace 2.02 self extracting archive
Instructions:
Run the .EXE off the first CD to extract the .APE files to hard disk, inserting each CD when prompted.
Then use Monkey's Audio Compressor v3.86b2 to decompress .APE's to .WAV's.
Why Monkey's Audio? Because Shorten doesn't support 24 bits, and Monkey's Audio is fast and gives the best
compression ratio on 24 bit .WAV files. Files can be played as .APE's by installing the MAC plugin for Winamp,
although they will be mysteriously cut down to 16 bit(see the plugin for more details).
.WAV's = 3.62GB
.APE's = 2.40GB
4x74min CD's required.
