This was done using a different transfer chain. This method was per the advise of Dan Healy I received from him a while back in trying to attain a perfectly clean signal going to digital. I had one of my reel machines modded for a direct tape head output going into a custom Bottlehead tape tube pre specifically built for reel transfers (w 2. diff. EQ setting for tape speed) so basically you have a perfectly clean tape signal going into the tube pre going into 24/96 digital.
Fine. Thanks so much.
Sounds good to me..
