| Recorded at the Rainbow Theatre, London, UK. Great audience recording. From the info file: Pink Floyd 1972-02-19 Rainbow Theatre, Recorder 1, 2nd gen (24bit/96kHz) Pink Floyd Rainbow Theatre, Finsbury Park, London, England 19 February 1972 Lineage: 2nd gen TDK SA90 tapes > *Technics RS-B965-M > Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 > Reaper v4.61 and iZotope RX3 > FLAC (24bit/96kHz) xACT used to create FFP 01 The Dark Side Of The Moon 02 One Of These Days 03 Careful With That Axe, Eugene 04 Echoes 05 A Saucerful Of Secrets (cuts) Total running time 1 hour 46 mins 55 secs 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.
