music casette to cd transfer faster than real-time?
hello, I've got a collection of old audio cassettes which i want to put on
cds. Now, since there are so many tapes it will take alot of time doing the recording. are there any players or other hardware which can do this conversion faster. My first thoughts about this was a casette-player which would do a playback in 2x-Nx speed and then the recorded data could be adjusted on a computer. But I heard that this would require a really special soundcard with a broad frequency-band unless i wanted poor quality..? Please Advise |

Well, you could get a card capable of 96 kHz or greater sampling rate: any problems there just need a little extra money and some fairly minor software work to solve. That part is REALLY the easy part. The bigger problem is that the playback heads, electronics and such in cassette recorders are NOT designed for this and, by themselves, will result in poor quality playback to begin with. Special, high-priced high-speed cassette duplicators might work, but by the time you get done, you could have probably bought a couple of extra computers and be running 2 or 3 systems using normal hardware and software simultaneously doing CD transfers at normal speed. -- | Dick Pierce | | Professional Audio Development | | 1-781/826-4953 Voice and FAX | | | |

Or thrown all the bloody cassettes in the bin and bought the CD's :-) TonyP. |
