[Dtb-talk] JFW SCRIPTS NEEDED RE: digitizing 4-track recordings

[Brett Winches]

I am diverging the subject line as I need to find scripts for JFW and
Cool edit.  Will the Audition scripts work (if any) on the older Cool
Edit software?

Playing the tape at 1-7/8 ips will give you a stereo recording with
"chipmunk" speech on both channels - but one channel (left) will be
backwards.
You can use an audio program (SoundForge, Audition, etc.) to split the
two channels into two separate mono tracks; reverse the backward
recording; slow down the tracks from both channels; use hiss- and/or
noise-reduction to improve the sound quality somewhat; use a program
like Plextalk's PRS to add DAISY markup.

Of course, it'll never be as good as stuff originally recordede
digitally, but that's just how the world works.

Be well.
