Notes:
From original text file:
Recorded on a Sony TC-110A, using the built-in microphone
Original cassettes were transferred to a Mac DAW using a Denon DR-
M10HR. The analog signal was first run through: a) a SAE 2800 parametric
equalizer to bump the highs slightly and to remove "room boom" at around
80
Hz; & b) a Phase Linear Autocorrelator to remove hiss & expand the
signal (the TC-110A did not have controls for recording; the recorder,
designed
for dictation, compressed the signal and recorded at a fixed level).
Transferred to the Mac
using a MOTU 896. Bias Deck used to splice tape flips, even out volume
levels & in some case to edit audience portions to
allow for whole sets to fit on a 74 minute CD. Bias Peak used to
transfer
SDII files to WAV files for shn compression. This recording is the first
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:
- Zero padding at the beginning and the end of each disc (always 1
second = 75 sectors = 44'100 samples) with EAC's integrated wave editor
- Fixing sector boundary errors in most of the tracks with shntool
