Hi,

I have a library of old 4-track Tascam Syncassette tapes, and my 234
seems to be irreparably broken. I'd like to capture what's on them
to digital before it's entirely too late. Does anyone know of a
service that can do this job?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

P.S. if you'd Cc: me on any replies, I'd be doubly indebted.

Probably half the posters on this group can provide this service.
I've got a Tascam 244 (haven't used it in a while, ISTR it runs at
double the standard cassette speed, front panel says it has DBX, but
doesn't appear defeatable - is there a PDF of the manual somewhere?)
and a computer with a Delta 66 card running N-Track Studio.
I'm not offhand familiar with the 234's features, and tascam.com
doesn't have much on non-current products. Are your tapes recorded at
double speed? Using what type noise reduction, if any?

Okay, but be sure to read the newsgroup for the replies from those
who don't.

Just about all the tascam cassette 4 track multi-tracks used DBX noise
reduction. Not all of them had separate outs per track. Some of the
syncassette models used Dolby S I believe which is the rarer of the
two. As long as DBX is used tons of studios should be able to handle
this. Where are you located?
