24 bit version

Taper: Doniker Dave
Equipment: Panasonic RQ-346A cassette recorder (photo included) with external mic from Radio Shack
Transfer and mastering: }{eywood
Lineage: tape 1: BASF Pro II Chrome/tape 2: TDK D90 cass (M) > Optimus SCT-57 playback deck > plugun enhanced Adobe Audition 1.5 (recording at 24/96, speed correction, NR, EQ, click filtering to tone down the distortion, stereo spatialization, track splitting) > Xrecode II (conversion to flac)

Contrast clause: This is a different recorder than the one I posted here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=453727

The tape has seen better days. A few wrinkles near the beginning of side 1, and the pad under the tape had fallen out. I had to do some surgery in order to get this transfer. Not a bad recording considering the equipment. Slightly distorted, but reasonably clear, and all the frequencies were there. A little EQ to clear up the fidelity loss from the aging of less than top quality cassettes and some processing to make it seem a bit more stereo and here you have it. Since the tape was in mono anyway, and since the right channel was less than half the volume of the left (introducing more noise) I eliminated the right channel and substituted the left before the stereo spatialization step.

The tape change was a little slow, so part of Pretty Woman was missed

Thanks for the heads up.

Definitely not downloading the 2.47 GB version…. that’s just silly.

For those that don’t do torrents, I’ve uploaded the 16 Bit version to Dropbox.
PM me or post in this thread if you would like the link.

Last call before I remove from Dropbox.
