the terra recording is not mine.  dave barfield taped it, using
a very high end rig consisting of a matched set of mics, a 
top notch ($$) D/A converter, and DAT deck(s).

i transfer to pc by playing dave's DAT tapes through an
S/PDIF (digital) connection to a SB sound card that has
S/PDIF in (most don't).  this is a digital transfer, so no 
information is lost.

i did the tracking, volume normalization, and some minor edits
on a regular pc running linux, using audacity for editing and
wavbreaker to split into tracks.  the label is created by my
own custom software that generates labels based on a text
file description.  the image on the terra label is from a picture
i took that night.  i like that one a lot, seems to capture his
onstage presence well.

i'll discuss my own new recording rig in a separate post.
