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.

Burning Instructions

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

View NotesProduction Notes by Marcus Buick (2019-04-29)

Night 3 of 4. My 1st show was 12-30-1985, so technically, this was my sixth Deadversary!  The 30th fell on a Monday night, and recovering from the weekend was occurring for some, while others were just getting ready to ramp it up for New Yearâ€™s!  Any four-day run of shows in the Bay Area took a certain stamina, but New Yearâ€™s shows always took that little je â€˜ne sais quoi!

Priority tickets (and the people who wait in line to get them) are required for getting â€˜the spotâ€™; most who que in line for these rarities are gunning for the rail but the most ardent tapers know that to get FOB DFC, priority tickets are an essential part of the equation.  In addition to securing â€˜the spotâ€™ the recordistâ€™s support crew are equally vital; That barrier between the mics and the unknowing public, for who taping is usually a non-consideration more than a nuisance, is a primary concern for capturing the accuracy of the music with absolute minimal distraction. Balloon pops, claps, yammerings-on, and laughing are the sounds to minimize, which only a support crew can do, once mics have been hoisted.  The reason I point this out is even though I am a recordist of this event I was, in no way, alone.  The amount of people that had a hand in making this recording is easily a dozen (if not two). I wonâ€™t name everyone here; They know who they are!

The main reason I got into taping the Dead was for the sonics; The accuracy of a Meyer Sound PA (in Quad) on a good night cannot be beat. I believe the Drums & amp; Space performance this evening reaches a level of dynamics uncommon in most human experiences; This recording demonstrates acoustics that can test high performance reproduction systems as well as bodily organs due to bone conduction!  The performance is strong, there are no technical issues, and this is a fine capture of this event!

Additional Notes:
- Thanks to Marcus Buick for sharing his Master DAT
- Thanks to John Ammons for coordinating these efforts
- Thanks to Pete Oshman for the use of the SV3800
