Transfer Process: 
Neil's tapes were played back on a TASCAM 112RmkII (a pro-level, three-head deck with the heads freshly cleaned and demagnetized) using the balanced XLR outputs. The signal was sent into an Apogee ADC, and was recorded into Pro Tools at a bit depth of 24-bit and a sample rate of 96 kHz. Each file was then cleaned-up using RX 6 to remove any low-frequency hum (and harmonic intervals thereof) that had made it onto the cassettes via either the recording equipment itself or the electricity configuration of the venue at the time of the recordings. Any tape hiss or noise that had existed above around 3000 Hz (in order to preserve high-end frequencies from sonic elements such as cymbals and microphone sibilance) was then cleared-out. From there, the waveforms were edited, separated (or combined in some cases) by track, and saved as individual files. Mastering was completed in Ozone 8 in order to ensure consistent equalization, loudness, and normalization amongst the tracks, before the files were finally dithered down to 16-bit, 44.1 kHz (to make them CD-compatible) and uploaded to Dropbox.
