Below is a direct downloadable link to a MP3 music file
I created this file from a 3.75 ips commercial recording similar to what
Abbedd says he did
It is Columbia DT 779 - Eugene Ormandy, Philadelphia - Trumpet Voluntary
4Track/2Channel 3.75
Equipment is a AKAI 747, Extigy Soundcard, Sony DTC-700 DAT used to
digitize, Burwen Research DNF1200A used to reduce tape hiss.
MP3 is 192 written with Sony Sound Forge 7.0b
No effects were used after the fact.
This is the best I could do from the tape
It demonstartes how bad open reel mass produced tapes really are
But ...
I extracted the music from the file without filters and re-eq. It is warts
and all, as they say.
It does not suffer from a bad response curve, has about 55db of S/N, and
virtually no flutter.
I submit that this file sounds considerably better than the one submitted
for
opinion by Abbedd
