Here's the situation:
Some open reel tapes were originally recorded at 3 3/4 i.p.s. NOW, the only
deck available, only plays at the higher speeds of 7.5 and 15 i.p.s.
Assuming one of those tapes is played at 7.5 into my sound card, could I
merely sample at TWICE the normal rate (88.2 KHZ) then reset the rate to
44.1 once it's in the pc to get it to sound normal? I know this works since
I use this technique to get an old 78 to turn at a lower speed on the
turntable when it's damaged.
The problem now is, let's say I don't have that ANALOG tape, but I have a CD
of that original tape played at the higher 7.5 Can I rip that file from the
cd, get it into my Sound Forge software and resample to get it to sound
normal or am I at a dead-end? I've got a gut feeling that I'll have to have
the ANALOG tape available so I can get the sound wave through my sound card.
(it's an Audiophile2496) Anyone? Am I making sense?

thanks, ken
