Lineage:
Source 1:
Tape > Technics Rs-bx501 > Zoom H2N (24/96) Flac > PC > Switch Sound File Converter Plus (downsample 96/24 > 44/16)
Source 2:
Arcorman tape sent to me by steve23yh as 44,1 kHz/16 bit, only part of the show from track 11 to track 28. This version is much superior in sound to the other version.
Both recordings were running too fast.
Original / corrected lengths:
Source 1: 111:59 / 117:42 ( 5,3 %)
Source 2: 73:39 / 83:17 (13,7 %)
Source 1 is very inconsistent in speed throughout the recording, Source 2 is running extremely fast and sounding very funny.

=======================
This was really a challenge and it took several trials until a sactisfactory result was achieved.
The reason for me to make a matrix was that I wanted to have the best sounding version of the show and at the same time not to have a too big difference in sound
between the first part of the show (which is onlay a remaster of source 1) and the second part of the show being the matrix.
=======================
Processing:
Flac files of 2 recordings -> Magix Music Cleaning Lab (Matrix/Remaster 44/16) > BowieStation
Matrix of course only from track 11 to track 28 incl. remaster and EQ. Tracks 1 to 10 were remastered and EQ'ed (treble and bass lifted).
Also for both recordings some dehissing was necessary.
Both recordings will also be uploaded as "raw" remasters with just speed and pitch correction and level adjustment but with no EQ.
Is there a way to purchase a copy of this?
