Re: [ARSCLIST] Formats (was Risk assessment tool Q2)
Yes, that's about my experience too. Many non-NR sources, quite a few Dolby A transfers but that's
more pro-grade music stuff, and a handful of dbx beyond my own stuff (I went thru a dbx II phase,
with quarter-track reels, in my youth -- bad idea although reel tapes don't seem to lose level badly
enough to have real issues with the dbx aside from that it was a bad concept from the get-go for
music; luckily most of the material is FM radio concerts that sounded bad from the get-go too).

Richard, without giving away trade secrets, do you have anything but a very small percentage of
business with non-mainstream formats (I'd call mainstream Dolby A, B, C and SR and dbx I and II)?
Hi, Tom,
The bulk of my work is non-noise-reduced reels and cassettes. I have done one Telcom C4 via ftp
(the sender had an APR-5003V and made a nice WAV file which I ran through the Telcom C4 processor
and re-digitized and uploaded to my server. He was happy.
I do Dolby A and dbx I from time to time with the odd dbx II thrown in. I see very little Dolby C,
S, and SR.
Of course, not having 16 channels of Dolby C and S tends to eliminate me from the very narrow
format multitracks that Steve Puntolillo sees from time to time.
Cheers,
Richard
