I'm converting a bunch of old tape cassettes to CDs & MP3s. I have a
Sony TC-WE605S Cassette Deck feeding in to my PC.

The Sony has Dolby B, C, and S settings. What is the best Dolby
setting for this application?

The cassettes are all commercial recordings circa 1980 -1995. Some of
them are Chrome tapes. Did the manufacturers use anything other than
Dolby B?


I've searched Google and a number of FAQs but couldn't find a good
answer.

Thanks,

If you can't get data for each tape, just use the setting that gives you
the best sound quality on playback. After all, you will be the person
listening to the results of your media transfer.

Other than a few rare exceptions, no.

Don't post the same question multiple times to multiple groups. You end
up with multiple threads going and I'm not going to answer you in every
****ing thread you've started.

Put all the newsgroups in one post and don't post to more than three.

I always play back using normal position with Dobly on. If the tape sounds
overly bright, I'll play back in CrO2 mode. If the tape has poor treble with
Dolby on, I will turn it off. I'd rather have some hiss rather than lose the
high end of the music.

I always thought that most pre recorded tapes sound dull with noise
reduction on while the ones I made were fine.

I never liked Dobly C. It always had a steril sound to it.
