Notes:
From original text file:
Tape flip at the end of d01t01.
Recorded on a Hitachi 290, using the microphone from the RCA YLS 15B
portable reel to reel recorder. Original cassettes were transferred to a
Mac DAW using a Nakamichi 480.The analog signal was first run through:
a) a SAE 2800 parametric equalizer to bump the highs slightly; & b) a
Phase Linear Autocorrelator to remove hiss. Lo Cut filter on Mackie
1402-VLZ used to remove grunge below 75 Hz (-18 db/octive). Transferred
to the Mac using a MOTU 896/Bias Peak. Bias Deck used to splice tape
flips & even out volume levels. Bias Peak again used to transfer SDII
files to WAV files for shn compression. xACT used to fix SBEs & encode
to SHNs. This recording is one of literally dozens of concerts recorded
by Joe Maloney in the late '60s - late '70s to be released to the live
recording community. The bulk of the concerts recorded were in the
Boston area, with some in Maine venues.
The improvements that I
did:
- Repairing small click at drop out (44'56") on disc 1 (this was almost
certainly the result of a clumsy edit)
- Splitting up disc 1 into individual tracks
- Zero padding at the end of disc 2 (1 block = 588 samples)
- Last but not least, I also have created some artwork
The tracking on disc 2 is peculiar as well. The included cue sheets
fix this problem (for those who now how to use them) and the tracks
will start with Roger's announcements.
Credits:
Many thanks to Joe Maloney for recording this show and also to Jamie
