Dutch Masters Archives series

This serie is about old tapes ( mostly recorded from 1990-2003 ) transferred from DAT recordings to digital files. As the transfers were not done on the device of recording, some files suffered from drop outs.

I did my best to preserve the original recording but sometimes I had to find ways to make it listenable, and sometimes skipping songs that could not be saved.
If you're a completist, don't go for it.

Audience recorded on Sony DAT D7, playback on Pioneer D-05, via Hucht data copy processor Mk II to Tascam DA-3000.
Editing with Adobe Audition & Audacity. Flaced with TLH to level 8.
Thanks to The Professor for the tec support service.


2026 Mastering, pretty short set. I doubt if I ever put this one out.
