Special Thanks

Many thanks to James Young and Clay Brennecke for their wonderful
recording.  Also thanks to Keith Litzenberger for his excellent
recoding as well.  Thanks to Jay Ashley and Darryl Hinko for their
transfer and mastering/editing on the SBD source.  And thanks to
both Jamie Waddell and Todd Evens for their pristine transfers and
excellent editing/mastering on the FOB.

Notes on the Source Material

SBD (shnID = 75772)
This is another strange 1991 SBD.  Let me explain.  Quite a few
digital SBD's for the 1991 year are in circulation.  I am sure
some of you have noticed a sorta strange sound quality to them.
What makes them sound they way they do is unknown to me.  I'd
call them too digital.  They tip-toe along the edge of blurry.
If I had to guess I would think a portable DAT deck was being fed
an analog signal into the line in.  And although the levels were
set appropriately the deck was overloaded by 'too hot' a feed
from the SBD.

AUD1 (shnID = 96398)
Nice and well balanced FOB.  This upfront FOB grabs quite a bit
of the sound but not as much atmosphere as you'd like for making
a matrix mix. However, this does help the sterile, straight SBD
out quite a bit.  While it doesn't completely fix the strange
"digitally" sound of the SBD it does help quite a bit.

AUD2 (shnID = 98392)
Another great sounding AUD.  I love it when multiple source can be
used to make a 5.1 and a stereo matrix.  This doubles the options
for the multichannel mixdown and also allows for more flexibility
in the 5.1.  Not just the standard SBD front and AUD in the rear.
This also allows me to do high rez mixdown for each of the 6
channels as well as a high rez stereo mixdown of all 3 sources.

---------------------------------------------------------

Tech Notes

FLAC/SHNs were decoded to wave. Wavmerge was used to reassemble the
tracks back to 1 long wave.  CEP2.0 was used to align & synch all 3
sources (time compress and expand).  SF8.0 was used for the EQ setting
on the LFE and CTR channels.  SF8.0 used to adjust the volume for the
center, surround and LFE channels.  SF8.0 was used to perform the hard
limiting on the LFE channel.  Surcode MLP was used to encode all six
channels utilizing a lossless compression scheme. DiscWelder was used
to author and create the DVD-Audio in 5.1 and created the ISO image
file.  This incorporates 6 channels of 24/48 wave files.

About 24/48 Resolution

This represents the 24 bit files that are the result of all the
editing preserved in 24 bit. (Editing: time compress/expand, EQing
and of course the multichannel, multi-source mixdown for both front
and rear stereo fields.)

It is unclear exactly what we have in the way of high resolution.
However what we have here would not be represented accurately in 16/44.
In short, upsampling simply adds 000's to the end of the data stream
where as this multichannel mixdown of three 16/44 sources does in
fact utilize the entire data stream.  I choose to preserve the extra
data rather than chop it off.

How much different does this sound? is this better?  A little and
yes. This is more accurate and has more dynamic range.  24/48
resolution versus a1 6/44 of the same material will usually result
in very subtle but important differences.  Most of it relying on
the quality of the DVD-A player its D to A conversion.  With  that
in mind this 24 bit copy is no different.  Small but important gains
over the same material in 16/44.  This is just one man's take.
