i'm going to drive myself nuts with this unless i just accept it's all fucked and move on. all i can do is kick myself in the ass.

it's the same basic problem with the drum parts. i have them dumped to chrome tape or i have them in 128 kbps mp3. the tape versions are missing depth and definition, as you'd expect. the mp3 versions are a little sharper, but distort at the edges of the spectrum, as you'd expect. i sold the ry30 about 2003 to go backpacking in bc, which is probably the single dumbest thing i've ever done.

i could maybe mix them together, but i'm going to get funny phasing issues.

...and i might when i do the reconstructions....

...but for now i need to just get what i can off the tapes and move on. i'm the only person in the world that knows that drum snare is supposed to have 33% more reverb on the right channel.
