i hate nontapers that think the freq analysis is always right.  they know nothing.

their loss if you ask me.

[Josephine]

does it sound good thats all that should effin matter

exactly.  maybe there wasn't any sound above 16kHz coming out of the PA to begin with??

Would the fact that I was located in the very last row of the farthest section of balcony (basically almost on the ceiling) have this kind of affect?  Here's a link to the seating chart:

I was in the very last row of Section 310.

for sure, high freq's are lost the furthur away from the source, but wtf, justcause your tapes dont have anything over 16k doesnt mean squat, hell, most of us that have been to many shows prolly cant hear that high of a freq anyway

I think its been pretty much proved all of us (unless you're under 18) can't hear past 16 khz

you used the same gear to record the dylan show the other week, right..? do a FA of that and see what the results are...

Yeah - but mk41s can, and should hear - something - in that range...?

I hate to say it - but after a few quick experiments - that spectral does look an awful lot like what mp3 does to the freq resp...

Sure some thing didnt go haywire in the transfer...?

I'm going to compare the torrented version (which I downloaded) to the original track which I sent out . . . check to see if there is any difference.

josephine;

you can just transfer a short sample from your master DAT and look at the freq. and spectral analysis.

that'll do it...

i am thinking the save as was set to mp3 not wav

If they are the same - then you will need to go back the DAT and sample a few seconds for comparison...

How was the transfer done?

They're the same    

Okay . . .  I imagine this is where I'm going to start to sound REALLY, REALLY DENSE.     How do I "sample" some of the DAT?  Just transfer a small portion and compare it against the others?

exactly, just retransfer a few minutes of it, and compare the FA of that new .wav with what you've already got on your computer.

The same way you did the transfer for the file you FTPed...

Just do a few seconds -

Was this a digital transfer? or are you using analog in to a  soundcard?...which might explain a lot...

make sure your record function is set to the sample rate at which you recorded (the dat machine will tell you that in the display upon playback)...

record 1 minute of music, and then stop, save the WAV (without altering it in any way)and analyze.

Josephine-
     +T for all the efforts. I am sure there is an explanation for this. I remember this happened to my New Order 89 master. when I transfered it the first time it was all under 16 Khz. then when I re transfered it it was fine. did you save the File Wav (Windows PCM Wav)?? or another wav type becasue sometimes that will do it. but anyways. you get a t just for that. thos people over at DIME that are bitchin can fork themselves!
