Anyone know what the original recording was done on?..

The Equipment used.

EMI TG Mark IV Consoles.

16-track Studer A80s . The initial tracks were recorded at 15ips onto 2"
tape, non-Dolby. To make more tracks available, tracks were bounced down
onto a second Studer 16 track, this time with Dolby A.

Bass - Although a Hi-watt amp was set up in the studio area for Roger
Waters, and screened off to help with the spill, a mic wasn't actually
used. Instead the bass was DI'd and compressed through a Fairchild
Limiter. The Fairchild was also used for vocals and sometimes on the mix.

Dave Gilmour used a Hi-Watt DR103 100 watt head through WEM Super
Starfinder 200 cabinets with 4?12 Fane Crescendo speakers. The set up
was mostly closed miced. Other gear included : A Bison Echorec II,
silicon transistor version of the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face, a Colorsound
Powerboost and a Univox Uni-Vibe.


All addition recorded delays on the album were done with tape machines

Interesting site that..

Impressive to think that something recorded 40 years ago can be used to
demonstrate differences on modern storage methods..

Mind you I have some 15 IPS tapes here I occasionally replay on a Studer
B67 to visitors of a fairground organ recorded in the open air they just
cannot believe how old it is and how it was done!.

And the fact it isn't digital!..
