Oh, and I forgot: don’t use any form of equalization or Dolby noise reduction! That will certainly cause problems.   From: Per-Olof Karlsson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 15 mars 2004 15:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SWCollect] Here we go.....   Sampling should be fine, especially with a Vic tape which probably doesn’t have any turbo-loader thingie built-in (those tapes can be pretty tricky).   Just make sure you sample in MONO! On some tapes you get better results by doing an 8-bit sample by the way, you might want to try that too. 8 bits, less room for “nuances” -> less possible errors. At least the theory is sound. ;)   Cheers, Peo   From: Vincent Joguin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 15 mars 2004 13:22 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SWCollect] Here we go.....   At 07:12 15/03/2004 -0500, you wrote: In a message dated 03/15/2004 6:10:11 AM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: To what medium did you copy it? WAV file or another tape? Another tape. Mmm. Not the best (although that's already a very good thing). Since you're not going to sell your original copy (I hope!), it's not a hurry, but do you think you would have the necessary hardware/software to digitalize your original tape? I think any recent Sound Blaster or equivalent should be enough, with some sampling software (some software included in Windows may be enough), and an audio cable from a tape player to your sound card. Trix (or anyone else), do you have any idea of how to *really* correctly preserve tapes? I'm more on the floppy disk side of things, so I may be wrong about the tape quality preservation... Vincent.
