*There are two inexplicable gaps in track 6, one about 17 seconds and one about 3 seconds. I did fade in/outs to make these gaps less abrupt.

soundboard > cassette master (recording deck probably a Sony TCK777) (TDK MA90 metal bias cassette with Dolby B on)

[playback] JVC KD-V6 (playback, with Dolby off) > Sek'd Prodif Plus soundcard > Sound Forge 8 (24 bit, normalize, fade in and out, track splits, bit depth conversion) > 16 bit .wav files > FLAC level 8 encoding align on sector boundaries. No EAC - not burned to cdr.

When you record with Dolby B on it boosts high frequencies by 10dB, with the idea than playing back with Dolby B on will cut high frequencies by 10dB and in the process reduce hiss. In this case, since I played back with Dolby B *off*, we would expect a boost to high frequencies, which I deemed acceptable. You, the end listener, are free to apply noise reduction techniques however you choose - however, I would ask that this recording be circulated without any such noise reduction.



Not sure about alot of the song titles.
