T!:

my audio card = Sound Blaster Live
recorded into HD via Cool Edit Pro
notes:
When I transferred this tape some time ago I considered it somewhat
inferior to the CDs I had before, even if I noticed the tapes to be amazingly
longer, actually the longest version I checked with a so nice intro/soundscape
on Sheep.
Relistening to this old transfer I changed my mind about the SQ , it isn't
inferior to my old cds at all, actually there's even more instrument definition
and sound prospective.
I think that my transfer turned out actually the best complete version I have
for this recording. Hissier than the incomplete 2nd gen (source 2) but having
really nothing to envy that overall.
I didn't keep the tapesides order and didn't take any scan of the tapes, saving
the transfer all in 1 big file back in March 2005, so the usual description of
the tapesides isn't here included. There are some little inside cuts on some
songs (few secs), evident on Pigs (there are 2) and on SOYCD 6-9, but I can't
remember if they mean the tapes ended/started at those points. This isn't so
essential anyway. As usual I left evident the tapecuts where there was no
possibility of merging the pieces in a perfect way.
The speed varies a bit, maybe a bit slower than on other versions, but it sounds
quite right to me; sound quality varies a bit too especially in coincidence with
the cuts, but nothing so noticeable. |
