Tech Notes

FLACs decoded to wave and Wavmerge was used to reassemble tracks
back to 1 long wave. CEP2.0 was used to align & synch both sources
(time compress and expand). SF8.0 was used for the EQ setting on
the AUD source. Waves L2 was use for some compression used in the
patched areas. CEP2.0 was used to preform the multitrack mixdown.
CEP2.0 was used to preform the multitrack mixdown. This is a 60%

Notes

The entire show is seamless and can be burned in any config that you want and can be played back in its entirety from start to finish without interruption.

d1t01 "Bad Day" the DFM source started rather abruptly. This was edited with a lead-in patch from the AUD source and then crossfades back to the DFM.

d1t07 This was missing on the DFM source and therefore is patched from the AUD source and then crossfades back to the DFM.

d2t04 "Horse To Water" This was missing on the DFM source and therefore is patched entirely from the AUD source and then crossfades back to the DFM.

d2t08 "Encore Break" This was missing on the DFM source and therefore is patched from the AUD source and then crossfades back to the DFM.

d2t11 "Losing My Religion" This was missing on the DFM source and therefore is patch entirely from the AUD source and then crossfades to the DFM.

d2t13 "Man On The Moon" ended abruptly and cuts off the feedback at the very end of the song. This as edited with a patch from the AUD source and then fades out prior to the house music kicking on.

Notes on the Sound Samples

Sample_1 "SBD_AUD_matrix_mix"

This is a clip of the matrix mix to give you an idea of what to expect. You will only notice subtle changes in sound over the straight DFM. A little more warmth, additional "thump" to the bass and an expanded dynamic range. The DFM was quite compressed and the addition of the more dynamic AUD sources helps out.

Sample_2 "MTX_to_AUD_banter_patch"

This sample gives you an idea of what to expect for the areas that the DFM was missing and is patched entirely with the AUD source. The AUD was EQ'ed and some Waves L2 compression applied. I did the best I could to make these source changes as smooth as possible and the end I was very happy with the results.

Sample_3 "Remastered_AUD_source"

This sample gives you and idea of the 2 songs ("Horse To Water" and "Losing My Religion") that are comprised using just the AUD source. The AUD was remastered to best match the sound of the DFM. Of course it is still a noticeable change in sound but less jarring. I did this with asome EQ'ing, some Waves L2 compression and by matching the levels of the DFM.

Sample_5 "5_channel_surround"

Here you get to listen to the different surround sound fields. First you will hear 22.5 seconds of the front channels, 22.5 seconds of the center channel, 22.5 seconds of the LFE/subwoofer and finally 22.5 seconds of the rear channels. In the real 5.1 mix the center and LFE channels are mono - here they are 2 channel mono.
