There were also 25 relatively large single-channel drop outs throughout the recording (mostly track 2 and 3) that, due to their length, have been repaired by using the music from the other channel, so these segments are also now monaural. In addition, there were several hundred small (20-30ms) partial, drop outs of one channel or the other, but such gain drops were corrected by asymmetrically increasing (bumping up) the gain of the affected channel, These small drop outs have been rendered inaudible, but the mono segments are easily discerned. Despite the occasional movement of "Daddy's" left-channel microphone, it has much to recommend it, including very good stereo separation and a warm analog sound. Credits ======= Many thanks to Jan Lohmann for providing the source recording. Thanks to flambay for the speed corrections. Hats off to taper Dad -- Imagine, going to a Miles concert, a young child in tow, and recording the concert with a pair of handheld mics.
