These tapes came from Rolf Ossenberg in a trade completed in September 1993. They were recorded with Dolby B and played back with it off. I made some adjustments in the analogue domain to bring the channels into better balance.

A - R channel was a lot stronger (track 1)
B - L bit stronger, turned down L and R to prevent clipping (tracks 2-3)
C - L bit stronger, left levels as per B (tracks 4-5)

Before embarking on the speed correction, I used iZotope RX3’s Azimuth functions to repair the stereo imbalance and phase issues that had occurred with improper tape head alignment and other speed related issues in the lineage.

Side A: adaptive level matching right -3.3dB, adaptive azimuth adjustment delay right +22.4 samples
Side B: R +1.1dB, R +2.6 samples
Side C: R +1.2dB, R +3.6 samples

Speed corrections were applied to the three sides. My thanks, as ever, to goldenband for his trusty advice.

Side A: +2.34%
Side B: +3.83%
Side C: +3.23%

ASOS starts to slip around a bit, but not enough to worry about.
