Hello Steve, I'm an old freind of Dick Latval's. I dropped out and fairly recently got back into the game. I've been trying to transfer items worth transfering onto CD. It's been difficult to weed through all that is in circulation...and then, of what that is in circulation... those that are worth remastering due to digital dropouts, static, high gen. etc. looking at 1987, saw your email here on Deadlists. Many of my 87 boards I got from Dick. Some I got from the archive, a few I was allowed to plug into the board. Some of those Healy matrix boards were very good, other were very dirty in the mix(Dark) I know some of this material was recorded as straight SBD others via "Matrix", some on cassette and on PCM Beta. I'm trying to figure out what's out there. I don't want to duplicate my efforts if a perfect transfer is out there already. Also, if I have an oddity I'm transfering those. What do you mean by "MATE"? Is that for those recording people now call "Matrix" boards. By the way, my original SBD cassettes recorded for me by Healy have "Healy mix-Ultra Box" written on them. They were mastered on TDK-R90 metal sheel cassettes. As a matter of fact the whole tour was recorded on those on a D-5, and was in the archive at one time. Right now I'm transfering a PCM of 5-2-87 I got from Dougle Donaldson. It says SBD, but sounds more like one of Digital Daves stellar F-1 Pcm aud. recordings. It doesn't sound like a Healy matrix, and not a plain SBD. What does yours come from? I should check and see If I got one from Dick also and compare. Hope to hear from you. Steven P. Martin Greenfield,CA.
