notes:
From master clone,
this is the long uncut version of this recorder, Same contents as the 2ndGen>MD
version. Speed isn't correct, runs a bit fast. Sound quality is very
nice, crispy and smooth, apart the channel problems native with the recording.
The indexed version is actually another CD version included in the Reeling In PF
project as bonus CD, the contents and the SQ are the same as the uncut version
included in the "Tape 9", just not at 48 KHz.
notes about the Reeling Project:
Reeling In Pink Floyd - general information Message List
A little while ago, I received a remarkable offer - Would I be interested in
some Pink Floyd related audio material ? What I received was a box of DAT tapes
and CDs. Most of the material came to my friend from several of Europe's most
famous collectors back in the late 1980s / early 1990s. These are the sorts of
people who own the actual master reels of many of the more popular
RoIO recordings. These European collectors dubbed significant amounts of their
collections for my friend. But, as life has sped up and the years have grown
long, he just hasn't had much motivation to listen to any of them any more & was
hoping to find a way of sharing the material with others.
Happily enough, I happen to know someone with a professional DAT deck -
one with a digital output. B-) So, he transferred all of the DATs to .wav
files and then .flac-ed them. They're all *exactly* the same as the original
DAT
tapes - the same sampling rate, the same length, etc. Some are at 48 kHz,
which is actually better than CD quality (44.1 kHz). So, to make a reasonable
audio CD, you'd have to sample down to 44.1 kHz and cut into tracks.
Obviously, I thought it might be nice to compare these recordings to
previously circulating versions. I spread them around to a few friends with
large
collections. The general consensus was that the DATs tended to be slightly
longer (mostly more audience noise) and sound slightly to moderately better than
previous, highly circulated versions. But, to be completely fair, often
there weren't other versions to compare to (as was often the case with my
collection).
Also, I happen to own a master reel containing two concerts from the
middle 1980s. I had this professionally transferred relatively recently.
All of the material fits nicely on 7 DVDs.
