Tech notes

I used EAC in secure mode to extract all tracks at 100%
no reported errors. Cool Edit Pro 2.0 was used to align &
synch both of the sources. CEP2.0 used to adjust the volume
for the SBD, AUD, center and LFE channels. Surcode CD Pro
DTS was used to encode to DTS.

Notes

Both sources were recorded quite low. I raised the levels
on the SBD 3db. I raised the levels on the AUD 4.5db.

Fade in/outs applied to the start and end of both discs.

Missing 0:02.888 crowd on SBD source between Weekapaug Groove
and Purple Rain (cassette flip). AUD trimmed accordingly to
match. This is smooth and most likely undetectable.

Missing 02:27.000 crowd on SBD source between last song
and the encores. AUD trimmed accordingly to match with 10
second crossfade. Smooth but ever so slightly detectable.

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
analogue audio outputs of your CD/DVD player.

Burning Instructions
Burn them the absolute same way as you would burn any
normal Audio-CD from .shn files.

**No DAE at all**

Transfer was done twice, then inverted over itself to
determine transfer errors. No errors were present or the
errors that were present were inaudible and due to differing
error correction on the DAT playbacks not transfer errors.

Detailed info: This was the seed for the phish.net tree in
early 1994; see google files (txt) contained in this file
set for more info. During this show there was occasional
distortion in one of the drum channels--due to either a mic
or mixer. This ispresent in all versions of the show, as it
came through the PA. This same noise is also present in the
8/20/93 Red Rocks SBD.

Minor Edits: Fades in/out beg/end of sets--5 sec in all
cases All of the below was done at the 48k level, so there
are edited and unedited 48k archive .shn's for archival:
First set cass flip: patched at the sample level as the
music overlapped on the first gen cass and subsequently on
the DAT--nothing missing at all!

Second set cass flip: cut out 45f and crossfade (duration
of 2s26f) Break between set-2 & encore: cut several frames
of silence and crossfade (duration of 4s45f) All crossfades
were done at: source: -infdb to 0db and the destination:
0db to -infdb. Edits took place after Paul and Silas,
Weekapaug and Slave.

cassettes to make the DATs and to Mikey for sending me the
master DATs for this transfer! Transferred and uploaded by
