Taper Notes:

View NotesThe original version of this source has been widely spread by bittorrent, however it sounded way slow to me. And while no-one had complained to Paul, I figured it worth testing if a sample-rate conversion had been omitted. I labelled the files as 48 kHz, downsampled them to 44.1 kHz (using highest quality settings) and to me Keller now sounds like Keller. However, the problem might not have been in the digital transfer, but in analog tape speed. Therefor, if the current shows speed sounds too fast, please file an error-report and we can go back to the way slower torrented version.
