My parents have LOADS (I mean hundreds) of reel to reel tapes that
they want to mp3-ify (not to CD).
They have two reel-to-reel machines and they have a mac and I have a
PC I could lend them.
We were thinking of making a little production line of two machines
going at once - processing the audio while the other started.
But I believe in the tape copying world, it's possible to record to
the PC at ultra-high speed and then just slow down in software.
All this is a one-off even, audio quality isn't massively paramount
(but it's music, so still important) but if anyone can think of any
way to speed this process up, we'd all be grateful!
BTW, we were thinking of this box to get the sound into the Mac Mini
(as it has no sound input)
