Tape 1

[thebarguest]

Any chance of sharing this with us, Alan, please ?

I performed a similar multi-part speed correction on the
old 790719 tape (Russians session) - it took quite a while.

That begs the question about the current 400 Box transfer
project : 

Are the tapes just going to be released to the great
world public complete with helium-voiced Peely and bad editing etc ?
Or could some sort of 'centralised' remastering be done to create
the definitive FLAC/MP3 ? Otherwise we could end up with loads of
remaster versions, some of them good, some bad, no standard ....

Much as I enjoy tinkering with Audacity,
it could take me (and others) years to remaster 400 tapes !

Bye
Donny Dolby

something online quickly on the occasion of our first tape release, I 
knocked up a quick thing this morning (while listening to Rocker's 
tape) we could perhaps use in the meantime to keep a track of the 
digitizing process (and do basic tracklisting info stuff).
