+CharlieChaplin Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Thanks to Tigerduck, I now have a recording of the Zeppelin loader music. He recorded it in full mono, still you can hear the (data) loading noise and I was unable to remove that. Evil me, I converted the mono sound into either pseudo stereo (?) or dual mono (?), so you can hear the audio on the left and right channels. Maybe somebody out there has some good filters available to remove white noise as well as the (data) loading noise ?!? The original WAV has a size of approx. 90MB (and my conversion also), too large to upload here. But here is the MP3 (with 224 kbit) at least...

I would not know how to do that any / either way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxl Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I am curious if the technique will go so far that it will be possible to recover the program from the background (mono) in this recording: D (I know that it is available) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am not sure if the recording level of the data is loud enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bani Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) My first attempt at crosstalk removal and denoising of Zeppelin and Dimension X. Discovered something interesting during the processing. After I removed the crosstalk and cleaned it up a bit, I found that the music sounded like it was fed into the cassette recording from a TV, there was all the classic audio hum and artifacts you would hear on a cheap VHS tape. I removed those artifacts as well. dimension_x_denoised.mp3 zeppelin_denoised.mp3 Edited February 1, 2021 by bani 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first part you can still hear the data tones when the music is high pitched or dynamic. Makes me wonder if Synapse tried to write a music loader for Dimension X, then gave up and put the music they were going to use on tape instead. It'd be interesting if someone could recreate that first musical part on a real Atari... with a remix it'd make a near perfect Dimension X cassette.
