Tech Notes
SHNs were decoded to wave and SF 6.0 was used to reassemble
the tracks back to 1 long wave. CEP2.0 was used to align &
synch both of the sources. CEP2.0 used to adjust the volume
for the center and LFE channels. Surcode CD Pro DTS was
used to encode to DTS. -3db was NOT applied to the rear
channels. Both of the sources for the front and rear
channels were left at their original levels.

Notes
D1 It is obvious that the sound engineer (Bear) was still
tweaking the mix quite a bit during this first songs. The
mix for the SBD source is rather unusual. Lots of Phil,
dead center, "in your face". This mix becomes more natural
as the show goes on.
D1,T1 "Intro/Tuning Jam" is entirely from the AUD source.
Switches to the SBD + AUD right before the start of track 2.
D2 and D3 can be seamlessly put back together on longer media.
Like a 90 minute CDR.
Phil "donor rap" was missing on the AUD source. This was
left off entirely.
The crowd cheer btwn the last song and the encore was
not entirely there. Crossfade preformed to keep things
sounding smooth and natural.
This mix also made for a very clear LFE/Sub channel. However,
because of this heavy Phil mix I reduced the volume to -5db
(usually -3db). With these DTS 5.1 mixes the listener should
be ready to adjust the volume of the subwoofer anyway. Either
on the Sub or using the settings on your digital receiver.
The unusual SBD mix also had very unique left/right channel
properties. These same characteristic were also noticeable
in the AUD source which leads to the conclusion a stereo mix
was played over the PA. I made sure to match SBD left
channel to AUD left channel (and right to right) for both the
DTS and the Matrix to keep the same stereo feel of this show.

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 de
