Today I read an article about a VR-1000 transport that had been modified to be a 16 track audio recorder so 90 minute reels could be mounted for longer recording time. This was done by the Grateful Dead for their 72 European tour and whether this machine was the one, or if they got or gave the idea to someone else, it proves there was such a machine. The description of how the material was recovered, speed corrected, and otherwise cleaned up for making new files for duplicating the big box set that is being released is also interesting. It is the Jan 12 issue of Pro Sound and I don’t have a url for the digital version, but I know there is one.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Bill Spencer<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>RF Engineering Supervisor<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>NorthStar Studios, Inc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>3201 Dickerson Pike<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Nashville, TN 37207<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Phone 615.650.6000 ext. 6610<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Cell 615.445.5616<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Fax 615.650.6027<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>email <a href="mailto:bill.spencer@northstarstudios.tv">bill.spencer@northstarstudios.tv</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE/HIPAA PRIVACY RULE: This message may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
