-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quality is rated on a 10 point scale--examples of things that can
determine quality...
10 == Crisp DAT soundboard/studio with no flaws...*perfection*
(9.99 - 9.51 == DAT SBD w/ flaws)
9.5 == Incredible DAT-- perfect sounding aud w/ *no* flaws. Best an
aud can get.
9 == Excellent DAT, few flaws, crowd noise virtually
nonexistant
8.5 == The average DAT aud tape
8 == Good DAT, crowd noise (during songs) more noticeable,
maybe a teensy weeny drop or two, sound may be a trifle messy in places/minor
phasing once or twice
7 == Halfway Decent DAT, crowd much more apparent,
lacking in "presence" (i.e. poor shotgun / hypercard placement, muffled),
dns / distortion in a few places, about the lowest quality I'll suffer
for.
6 == Poor DAT, crowd might be annoying in places, sound
not be very crisp diginoise/distortion in a few more places than a "7"
5 == Bad DAT, sound probably muddy, crowd overpowering
at points, may be several drops, dns /distortion present often, taper lets
it all hang out and starts singing along...
4 == Crappy, next to worthless DAT, sound very muddy, crowd
noise overpowering, many drops
3 == For Collectors only...I won't normally even list something
like this because of embarassment.
2 == I'd take bad foreign candyglam pop 90's music from
crappy AM radio reception over this...
1 == I'm sorry, *what* band is this? You're SURE this is
an *audio* DAT?
Note: Quality rating is subjective. Most of my tapes rate between
8.0 and 8.8 as a general rule
Times are approximates.
I tend to grade
harshly...takes *a lot* to get 8.8 or higher.
