Taper Notes:
View NotesThis is a complete remaster by Matt using his new set-up - "This was done using a different transfer chain. This method was per the advise of Dan Healy I received from him a while back in trying to attain a perfectly clean signal going to digital. I had one of my reel machines modded for a direct tape head output going into a custom Bottlehead tape tube pre specifically built for reel transfers (w 2. diff. EQ setting for tape speed) so basically you have a perfectly clean tape signal going into the tube pre going into 24/96 digital."

(aud patch source used in Dark Star and Lovelight) --- SBD MR > A77 > A77@ 71/2 ips. (primary source for disc 2) notes: Huge thanks go to Matt Smith for these wonderful sources and his masterful transfer and patch work!!! The aud reel is courtesy of Don Wolfe and the second board reel is from Pat Lee. Huge thanks guys!!! * as Matt puts it, "the first part of Dark Star is MR>D>CD, then it goes into the AUD which is MAR>?>R@3 @ ips., and then into the MR>A77>A77@ 71/2 ips>CD. The term A77 in the lineage denotes a Revox A77 reel to reel deck. There is also a patch in Lovelight at the end with the AUD. This is a perfect example how a reel transfer despite its lineage can blow away a MR>D>CD source. The reel version is so much richer than the circulating version."
