View NotesThis show was sent to me a short time ago. It happened to be my own first show. 
Absolutely amazing! The person that sent it to me didn't know the origin of the 
source. I think it was SBD original, as there is very little crowd noise. 
At least no-where near what I remember.

the tracks back to 1 long wave.  CEP2.0 was used to align & 
synch the SBD & AUD sources.  This is a 60% SBD, 40% AUD mix.

Notes

The levels were very low on the SBD source.  I increased 
set 1 by 3.5db and set 2 by 7.5db.

D1t4 'BIODTL' a 1 second AUD patch was made at approx 2.22 
to cover a cut, dropout or skip in the SBD.  Source change 
from SBD to AUD is obvious to the listener.

D1t5 'Roses' a 1 second AUD patch was made at approx 0.22 
to cover a cut, dropout or skip in the SBD. The result was 
smooth and most likely unnoticeable.

D1 The SBD source was missing approx 2.38 of crowd cheer 
after 'Roses'.  Most likely where the cassette flip was.
The AUD source was trimmed to match.  The result was smooth 
and most likely unnoticeable.

D2 and D3 can be assembled seamlessly on longer media.

NOTE:  Burning options.  You can also burn this as 2 CDs by
putting D2T1 & D2T2 (Scarlet > Fire) on the end of the first
CD.  Obviously I set this up for 3 discs but in the end I
ended up burning as a 2 disc myself.  The artwork was setup 
to accomidate both options.

D2 Both the SBD and the AUD sources had breaks bwtn the D2 
and D3 change.  The SBD source also had a cassette flip break.
Fortunately the breaks were at different spots.  I patched
the missing SBD portions, approx 4 and 3 seconds, with the 
AUD.  I patched the missing AUD portion, approx 6 seconds, with 
the SBD.  The result was smooth and most likely unnoticeable.

The SBD source faded out after the last song of set 2.  It
restarts at the very first notes of the encore.  I adjusted
the AUD source accordingly to match.  I tried to make this
as smooth as possible and it came out okay.

I ran the center channel lower than usual (-5db) for this 
DTS 5.1 mix.  

This Scarlet > Fire is absolutely insane.

Taper Notes:

View NotesNotes:

This new version of the matrix uses the Cutler truck mix instead of the Healy recording, and a greatly improved transfer of the audience source.

While the SBD mix had extra ambience from the ambient mic, the crowd levels were generally distant or low. The audience tape adds some nice crowd energy here and some extra resonance.

Many clicks and pops were removed. Some light static can be heard mostly between songs, during Space into Other One, and during the quiet parts in Hey Jude in the SBD source. Some of this static could be cleaned, but most remains.

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 determine if it can. Begin with the 
volume very low, start the disc and raise the volume 
gradually. NEVER listen to a DTS-Audio-CD through the 
analog audio outputs of your CD/DVD player.
