Rosemary/Christine If you are still having problems, contact your local radio station, BBC or Indie. They may well have kit that will do it for you, especially variable speed to adjust regards john |

I have reel-to-reel recordings of, amongst other things, my father, singing... He was rather good. I keep promising myself that I'll get those recordings transferred. Our biggest problem is the relatively low speed at which the tapes ran during the recording process - private-use recordings were assumed not to need the level of quality required for commercial recordings and broadcasting. The difficulty is that there are very few reel-to-reel decks around which run slowly enough not to make everyone sound like the chipmunks on helium. I thought I'd cracked it when a friend with access to radio-decks thought she might be able to do the transfers, but there was no facility to run the reels slowly enough. If there is a solution, I should love to know about it. My mother has some kind of senile dementia but might respond a bit to such a recording... if we could find a way of getting it into a playable medium. Christine |

It's not a question of software, its a question of playing the tapes into something that can convert it to a CD. Have you got a specialist hifi shop you could ask? Have you tried googling? nell |
