2-inch tapes?
How many tracks are on these tapes? Perhaps the best
way is to import them into a multitrack DAW, where they could be stored on a
removable hard drive and also archived to DVD-R or DLT tape, but it would be
best to use high-quality A/D converters, and it might be good to also try to
preserve them on some stand-alone digital tape format. Possibilities would be
DA78HR tapes - 3 machines can sync up for up to 24 tracks at 44.1/24 Bit or 12
tracks at 96/24 - or a Sony 3324 Dash machine. As far as the analog machine
that would be used for playback, I would recommend the Studer A-800 24 track
machine - it has the best sounding electronics of any 24 track that I have
heard. Keep in mind that depending on the vintage and brand of the tapes, they
may need to be baked.
E-mail me privately if you need more specific
recommendations or info...
