| Pink Floyd 1972-11-10 Copenhagen, Recorder 2, Marbal low gen (24bit/96kHz) Pink Floyd KB Hallen, Copenhagen, Denmark 10 November 1972 Lineage: Low gen TDK SA90 cassette (1984/85) > Technics RS-B565 > Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 > Reaper v4.61 > FLAC (24bit/96kHz) xACT used to create FFP Second set 01 One Of These Days 02 Careful With That Axe, Eugene 03 Echoes Encore 04 Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun Total running time: 58 minutes 33 seconds This taper does not appear to have recorded DSOTM. I also have a 3rd gen to DAT in my collection and this Marbal tape is much better, so I have concluded that it can be accurately described as low gen. I transferred both sides of Marbal's at the same level. STC is on side B and the others songs are on side A. Goldenband provided his customary expert speed correction advice and, on this occasion, tezeta very helpfully took on the task of applying the changes for me because a sliding correction was required. Both OOTD and CWTAE slide significantly on Marbal's tape, and do so in a way that makes an average value insufficient. CWTAE starts out about -1.21% slow and ends equally fast, so a single-value correction was impossible. OOTD starts out about -2.4% slow but ends at the correct speed. Echoes and STC were simpler to deal with, although the two halves of Echoes needed separate correction values because the tape speed jumps after the cut and restart: Echoes first half -1.45%; second half: -1.87% STC -1.16% There's a brief repetition just before the fade-out and resumption in Echoes, as if the music skips backwards for a moment. Analogue in origin, it would be possible remove this feature but I chose to leave it in. Side A ends with about 40s of applause, tuning up and the opening to STC, which is repeated on side B. Again, I chose to leave this in, on this occasion to demonstrate the subtle differences between the two versions of the recording. Neonknight tape transfer / Marbal cassette April 2017 |
