Re: [ARSCLIST] Question on matrix take numbers

[Dick Spottswood <dick@xxxxxxxx>]

This is a designation RCA employed in the mid-30s & eteherefter, when two 
recording machines made simultaneous masters of performances.  "1A" was a 
safety disc, and normally not used unless "1" turned out to have problems.

[ARSCLIST] Question on matrix take numbers






I've recently started to pay closer attention to matrix numbers. The take
numbers appended to the end of them are often instructive. Could someone
more knowledgeable than I explain to me the difference between a take 
listed
as "1" and one listed as "1A"? Does the latter mean a dubbing, and, if so,
what does this imply?

 

Thanks for your help.
