PCM to DAW Transfer by Mike Grace
Sony SL-HF900 Betamax > Sony PCM-601ESD SPDIF out > RME DIGI9652 sound card SPDF in > Wavelab 4 wav file
* Transfer into 24bit/44.1kHz wav files.
* The biggest challenge was getting the bata tapes to playback without dropouts.
* The best process was doing a full fast forward/rewind to repack the tape.
* Then play about 10 minutes of the PCM tape and tweak the tracking for the strongest playback envelope.
* Next Mike ran the transfer of the entire set and write down the time position of any dropouts.
* If any dropouts occured he replayed the same section to new wav files for a complete no drop out transfer
* Usually the second or third pass works.
* Using a Wavelab montage Mike edited the patch to line up to the exact sample and use no cross fade.

In case anyone reading comments about this show because they are wondering why Fire On the mountain opened 2nd set is because the hill behind us was on fire. Small fire but still visible from stage was the smoke from the fire.
As far as this recording goes it is surely a 4 out 5 star rating in my book. Has every member coming threw the tape. Enjoy the show for what it's worth not judging it to years past makes this one a good quality to download.

First set is quite good, nothing incredible but worth a checking out. "fire" is a bit shaky in its weird position but does some neat things. The show really picks up post space, Jerry playing lots of fast heavy chords. Bob's sweet summertime antics during Lovelight are funny but head scratching, which he acknowledges before US Blues, where they sing 'comin on' instead of 'come and gone' during the chorus! Box was then what everyone was waiting for, a most perfect ending. Good times. Good recording too.
