you could pitch the record up or down when digitizing it (only down would be functionally effective when recording originally from vinyl, anyways, for purposes of resolution in the digital copy) and then be able to pitch it another +/-4 (assumming factory-default decks) when playing it back with FS... or adjust it digitally with audio-editing software once you've recorded it (only pitching it up is advisable, at that point). (side note for the gearheads: in some of my more nitpicky and/or obsessive moments, i've digitized tracks that i want really nice copies of at -16 (with the slider set to +/-16) and then digitally downsampled them (using a nice, high-quality algorithm in a professional audio-editor) to circa the proper speed. in my mind it makes for better recordings, but it could be psychosomatic. it makes any pops or clicks from scratches or deeply-ingrained (that didn't make it out in the pre-recording wash) dirt less audible as well. ) -j -------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey Paul -datavibe- [EMAIL PROTECTED] aim: x736e65616b phone: 130*21*16749 or 877-748-3467 -------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
