Do you recognize any of the music, vocals or instrumentation in this sample I've prepared?

- Four tracks total
- Written on the box: NEON Rough Mixes
- AMPEX 456 Master Reel

Thanks!

Can a tree be historic?

Residents in the Palmer Square neighborhood want a city ordinance to protect American elm trees dating to the 19th century that are among the handful that survived Dutch elm disease.

I bought a basically unlabeled 10" NAB Ampex 345 Master Studio reel-to-reel tape about 7-8 years ago, from a recycling center in Toronto.
I finally had it professionally tape-baked and transferred, and will pour over what the heck is on it; most likely posting it to archive.org.

@netspooky personally I think this should be covered as "free speech" as in "harsh but understandable criticism of the #Enshittification of #medic and the active efforts undertaken to prevent #preservation..."

On a small side note, thinking for a moment here, would anyone buy any of this stuff, be it collectors and/or preservation? Example, a library I worked at previously the archives had a collection of political buttons (it was donated). Would an archives get a sample of this new stuff for such a collection or preservation?

Just the librarian in me wondering out loud.

Seems the #brother FTP server is dead... which took a LOT of old manuals with it. Not sure HOW long it's been gone, but it's certainly not on archive.org...

ftp://ftp.brother.ca/

Does anyone have archives or manual downloads from there?

Looking fruitlessly for this one in particular.

Meh. 😒 Ich bin unzufrieden mit unserer aktuellen Lösung.

Wie wird bei euch Material (dauerhaft) aufbewahrt, wenn es aus diesen (oft) defekten Ordnern soll? Stichwort auch: #Entmetallisierung wegen #Rost #Bestandserhaltumg #Bibliothek #archiv

I am dissatisfied with our current solution.

How do you (permanently) store material if it is to be removed from these (often) defective folders? Keyword also: #demetallisation because of #rust #storage #preservation #library #archive

Bottom line: A lot is basically Google saying "take your old shit down, we could not care less for it, or you can kiss your ranking good bye."

Proyector del cine municipal de Treinta y Tres. Es un alemán Zeiss. Viene con afecto, mi abuelo fue maquinista en el cine de Treinta y Tres durante 40 años. Gran parte de ese trayecto (quizás los últimos 20 o 30 años) lo realizaron juntos

Dedicaré un tiempo para conocer sobre la vida de este Zeiss.

@fojy found a new piston from 1873 that no one has heard of #preservation

@sps
No destruction in this poor land survey's future. Rather, some tissue repairs, a gentle flattening and a comfortable archive folder in which to spend the next 100+ years.
