Notes:
From original text file:
Recorded on a Sony TC-110A, using the built-in microphone (see
http://www.sciencetech.technomuses.ca/english/collection/cassette_rec.cfm).
Original cassettes were transferred to a Mac DAW using a Denon DR-M10HR.
The analog signal was first run through: a) a SAE 2800 parametric equalizer
to bump the highs slightly and to remove "room boom" at around 80 Hz; & b)
a Phase Linear Autocorrelator to remove hiss & expand the signal (the
TC-110A did not have controls for recording; the recorder, designed for
dictation, compressed the signal and recorded at a fixed level).
Transferred to the Mac using a MOTU 896. Bias Deck used to splice tape
flips, even out volume levels & in some case to edit audience portions to
allow for whole sets to fit on a 74 minute CD. Bias Peak used to transfer
SDII files to WAV files for shn compression. This recording is the first
of literally dozens of concerts recorded by Joe Maloney in the late '60s -
late '70s to be released to the live recording community. The bulk of the
concerts recorded were in the Boston area, with some in Maine venues.
The improvements that I did:
- Zero padding at the beginning and the end of each disc (always 1
second = 75 sectors = 44'100 samples) with EAC's integrated wave
editor
- Fixing sector boundary errors in most of the tracks with shntool
- Last but not least, I have also created some artwork


Credits:
Many thanks to Joe Maloney for recording this show and also to Jamie Salerno for doing the transfer.
