Re: [ARSCLIST] Old reel to reel 'echo' problem



How would transferring the left and right channels separately alleviate print through?

Hi Melodie,

What you're referring to sounds like something called "print-through", a
magnetic phenomenon that both reel-to-reel and cassette tapes are
susceptible to. There are some advanced processes such as using a noise-gate and possibly
transferring the left & right channels separately, but your mileage will
vary. Unfortunately there's no real remedy to it...


Good luck,

Dave

All,

I am not even sure 'echo' is the correct term, but with our old reel to
reel tapes (and I have had this experience with personal cassettes),
there is this thing I am calling echo - where what the person says is
repeated at a fairly low level - you can usually only really hear it
when there is silence - and it is basically a repeat of what had just
been said - so not really a echo but more like a delayed repetition. Is
this a head cleaning problem? Or a problem that can be fixed? Does
anyone even know what I'm talking about, and if so, what is it called?

Thanks

How many organizations reading this list accept audio preservation
SIPs from outside of your organization?

If so, I'd like to hear from you as we look to deliver more
complete audio preservation packages that consist of more than
just a WAVE or BWF file.
