Has anyone had luck recording a
78 at 45 rpm digitally and speeding it up using a software solution, and if
so, what was the software used?
I'm sure someone has tried it since Alesis or whatever their
DJ branch is called sells a 33-45 USB turntable, throws in a
copy of Audacity, and claims that it can be used to bring
78s up to speed. But I don't know if they have a template
for EQ curves (there were a bunch used for 78s) and of
course the microgroove stylus that comes with the turntable
won't fit the wider groove of a 78 correctly.
So, it's possible to do a half-assed job and preserve the
music, but you might not be getting all the fidelity from
the disks that they're capable of delivering if they're not
buggered up too badly.
