musigny23 notes:
Unknown mics and recorder
I remember this as coming from the taper. This was a mail trade. I normally didn't do that much. I also got some other things like the Detroit 76 and 77 tapes from him. I'm not in contact with him now but possibly could be to get a flat version and more info.
Master cassette Nakamichi deck(model?)playback (Dolby?) >
This taper, especially at the time of this trade, the mid 90s, was known for running things through an analog EQ to "improve" them, this sounds to me like
it has been "enhanced" in that way. It's quite "sizziley" to my ears.
If someone could reverse EQ it back toward a more pleasent, natural balance of sound that would be a good thing. > DAT
