Nuri - Tatar Music

From this tape that I have titled "Nuri", I was able to extract 4 mono audio files; 

• side1 left, 
• side1 right, 
• side2 left,
• side2 right. 

With many of these old reel to reel tapes, the first minute and a half is of just terrible quality. They ends tend to be chewed up, bent, or the magnetic information a bit lossy. After a short time, the quality tends to improve and these tapes are full (overflowing) with beautiful musical content.

Kekkuk - Three tracks

I was able to extract three tracks from this tape.  All are mono.  Track 1 was alone on side 1.  Track 2 and Track 3 are from side 2.  In my opinion, Track 2 is one of the most interesting of all the recently converted reel to reel tapes.   The quality is not the best.  This tape is FRIED but I was able to clean it up a bit and increase the volume.  The volume fluxuates quite a bit.  Some songs just STOP right in the middle.  You can hear the sound of someone trying desperately to get rid of noise by adjusting the recorder.  I left it.  I did not edit it out.  Give it some time before you give up.  Some of the content is truly fantastic and it is worth tolerating the ragged quality. It is titled "Kekkuk" because that is what is written on the side of the carton.
