| It's funny that I should come across this post today because I have a similar but different situation. I have an old 1/4 track tape from the 70's -someone's archive of their kids. The dilemma is that part of the tape is music and has been recorded at 7 1/2 ips and the rest is talking/laughing at a much slower speed. My machines are 1/2 track machines that don't play slower than 7 1/2 ips and are no good for this because you can hear tracks in one direction in the right ear and other direction in the left ear. So I got hold of another old consumer 1/4 track machine and I thought that would do it, but unfortunately it's slowest speed is 3 3/4 ips and the recording is slower than that still....must be 1 1/2 ips. It's not a well paying job...just one of those fill-in jobs when you aren't that busy, but I hate to say "sorry I can't do it." |
