question for Doc
« on: January 28, 2008, 01:43:18 PM »
Would most live recordings not be considered, due to length of program?  I was just daydreaming about "Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall" being given the TP treatment when I realized that it is almost two hours of music.  At 15ips it seems like that would be logistically a problem.  If you gave a short primer on the requirements for a piece to be considered, I think the suggestion box would be more usefull.....but I'm still gonna dream about I can't write left-handed, a glass of port and two candles.  It may just remain in the realm of vinyl.....(sigh)  :-)
Whatever sounds good,  Do that!

Peace,
Bhek

As regards length, a 10" reel of SM468 running at 15 ips is about 32 min long. So we can do albums up to about an hour in length in our standard two reel format.

As regards longer performances, we can always do a selection of favorite pieces from the original master. The most important thing is that it be an analog tape master. Anything else can be negotiated...
