Culled from a May 6, 1999 post by Rob Eaton to dnc
I recently re-decoded 5/5/77 and 5/8/77. I went into Right Track Studios
in NYC (my home base studio ) set up in studio B (which is the premier
state of the art Digital Music Studio in world). I had clean dat copies
(provided by Tim Daulton) that were NOT decoded. I set up a chain consisting
of: Panasonic Sv4100 AES out-->DB Technologies 924AD (24bit/96k
capability)-->Dolby 361 Modules w/DBX K9-22 cards-->Neve Capricorn 32bit
point processing/full 24bit Digital Console-->DB Technologies 122s
24bit/16bit conversion and 44.1k/48k sample rate conversion-->Panasonic
Sv4100 Dat AES in. This is State of the Art Tchnology, getting as much
of the music that was on the tapes as possible. The thing about DBX
that nobody else got is that in order to decode it properly the volume
into the decoder has to be exact, otherwise the tapes can be to bass
heavy or to bright and compressed. These tapes are absoultly the best
possible reproductions of the dig tapes made from the masters (I only
wish I had the actual reels so I could do a proper azimuth adjustment
on them).
