you'll notice this is one long track. expand the .shn file, and if you open the .wav in
SoundForge or CoolEdit you'll have marks for tracks. If you'd like to downsample to 44.1
and burn audio disks, be my guest. PLEASE run 'shntool fix *.wav' on the separated
tracks if you do such a thing though. 

i of course would prefer to break the show into individual tracks, however: SoundForge
doesn't cut on proper CD sector boundaries, which is a problem. further complicating
things is the fact that shntool fix doesn't work on 48k files. SO... this is the best possible
solution for now: the full 48k fidelity is maintained, and trackmarks exist in the master .wav
for those who want to put out audio disks. 

if shntool DOES work with 48k files, please email me at the below (and above) email
addresses. thanks. 


i was so impressed, i bought the company!

This was the first time out with the Oktavas, and I didn't have the signal properly unbalanced, resulting in a low volume recording (normalized in CE2k).
