| Recorded at the Palais des Sports de la Porte de Versailles, Paris, France. Very good audience recording. From the info file: Pink Floyd 1974-06-24 Paris, unknown gen (16bit/44.1kHz) Pink Floyd Palais des Sports de la Porte de Versailles, Paris, France 24 June 1974 Lineage: Unknown gen cassettes (TDK SA90) > *Technics RS-B965-M > Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 > Audacity 2.0.3 > WAV (24bit/96kHz) > Reaper v4.52 > WAC (16bit/44.1kHz) > CDWave 1.98 > FLAC (16bit/44.1kHz) xACT used to create FFP *The Technics RS-B965-M is a modified deck - for details see the Tapeheads.net forum 01 Shine On You Crazy Diamond 02 Raving And Drooling 03 Echoes Set two: 04 The Dark Side Of The Moon Encore: 05 One Of These Days Running time: 1 hour 56 mins 26 secs I received my cassettes in a trade with an experienced French collector in 1996 and they are probably low gen. The files represent a straightforward transfer of this mono recording followed by a partial speed correction. I dropped the dull sounding right channel on sides A to C and the left channel on side D. As often occurs, taking this action gave the recording a nice boost. In terms of output levels, sides A and B were a good match for one another. I moved the FSP's gain dial down slightly for side C, then a little more for side D. When transferring the tapes it was interesting to note that each side was close to 30 minutes: A - SOYCD / R&D - ends 29.49.29 B - Echoes - ends 54.41.85 C - Speak To Me to Money - ends 84.39.27 D - Us And Them to One Of These Days - ends 112.55.61 My tapes run fast and unfortunately the speed is variable, ranging from 3% to 8% (the latter during parts of Time). I slowed the recording down by 3% in Audacity for this release so it is closer to being correct. After downsampling in Reaper from 24/96 to 16/44, the final step was to track the project in CDWave.
