Tape flip at the end of d01t01.
Recorded on a Hitachi 290, using the microphone from the RCA YLS 15B portable reel to reel recorder. Original cassettes were transferred to a Mac DAW using a Nakamichi 480. The analog signal was first run through: a) a SAE 2800 parametric equalizer to bump the highs slightly; & b) a Phase Linear Autocorrelator to remove hiss. Lo Cut filter on Mackie 1402-VLZ used to remove grunge below 75 Hz (-18 db/octive). Transferred to the Mac using a MOTU 896/Bias Peak. Bias Deck used to splice tape flips & even out volume levels. Bias Peak again used to transfer SDII files to WAV files for shn compression. xACT used to fix SBEs & encode to SHNs.
