Hi,
I got these sweet tapes from a salvation army and I want to sample them
What is the best way to convert them to digital format?
I would mic them but they are already beat up and i think there will be too much loss to make any use of them.
[dont get me wrong I like the way old stuff sounds but I want it to sound as awesome as it does from my boombox]
Does anyone have any ideas?
Make sure you record these in 32bit float. Contrary to what some engineers suggest 44.1khz sampling is fine, but if you want to go higher try 88.2khz then convert down. Converting from 48k to 44.1k is plain ugly.
