The local studio bakes those old ones a bit before making the dump.


Hmmm...you may have the Teac 2340 which IIRC was the 'sound on sound' era and one could record (2) tracks simultaneously.

BOLD: Matt...get that done with as of yesterday! smile
My story:
Before I could retire BOTH analogue decks I faced the same challenge.
I had (24) R/R tapes with all original material dating from 1979.
The older stuff was at 7 1/2 and the later material at 15ips.
It was hell because I only had the Gina20 DAW interface at the time being 2in - 8out.
It was a total time vampire over a couple of months...it was hell. smile

Good luck....
