Re: Looking for someone to convert audio tapes!!!!!
I am not great at sound quality engineering but if you are just looking for somebody with a tapedeck and time to burn on uncirculated stuff that's been hoarded, shoot me a PM.

Re: Looking for someone to convert audio tapes!!!!!
With all due respect, I see you want Audioarchivist to send you a bunch of VHS tapes, indicated in this thread.
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...=127761&page=2 That would also certainly take time, which you indicate not having. What's the difference? Just curious... The following members like this post: Audioarchivist

Re: Looking for someone to convert audio tapes!!!!!
A three-hour video tape takes three hours to transfer.
I can do three C60 audio cassettes in that time Honestly, can't you just share a list of artists on these audio tapes, to let folks see if there's anything they're willing or able to deal with? You said in PM you could send pics of them, and I sent you my e-mail addy by PM two weeks ago. What's the difficulty here? Don't you want to communicate with those who offer to help?

Re: Looking for someone to convert audio tapes!!!!!
Assuming you're talking to me, I'd riposte with "Why are you so, so slow to respond?"
It's now 18 days since you asked for help, and I/we still have NO idea what material you have to be transferred. However, I note you've amended the OP, so the matter is closed. The following members like this post: mdshrk1

Re: Looking for someone to convert audio tapes!!!!!
Kind of scary that someone can miss the point so completely when they're asked a simple and totally logical question, hey?
I'm glad that I'm not in a big hurry to get rid of all those VHS tapes. I'm trying to figure out where they should go and who ought to get what of them. I guess this thread helped me figure out a little bit of that! If you're asking for help, you should be specific. If you want someone to work on music, you should make sure that they're actually a fan, so they'll do a good job because they care about it. Are you hoping to just get a fan of technology who just enjoys doing tape transfers for free? A properly authored DVD takes time. Even doing a "good" standalone transfer takes some time. I've done standalone transfers and going in and making proper track markers for each song and finalizing the editing takes some extra time. Then again, mastering a cassette properly takes me at least half a work week to do right. What's the big rush on doing transfers? Slow down and do them properly... Why wouldn't you just disclose what you were looking to have done? It doesn't encourage me to trust you...

Re: Looking for someone to convert audio tapes!!!!!
Apparently, he's a bit of a jerk, too... He posted a nice message in my VHS giveaway thread...
Thanks for pointing him out to me. I didn't catch that. I was getting close to giving him most of the tapes. Would have gone to a fool.....

Re: Looking for someone to convert audio tapes!!!!!
maybe all the shit he's leeching is eating up so much of his bandwidth that he can only make it back to this thread once or twice a week. This can't be the only site he's doing it on. With this in mind I'm deducing that he got cut off from DIME or a similarly ratio-restrictive site for being an uber-leecher, and now he needs to up original content in order to be reinstated as a downloader, but is possibly too lazy to learn how to do this himself or not willing to spend the money to buy a tape deck or quality cable to transfer from there to his sound card.
having all that been said, however, depending on which bands he's got, I'm still game for transferring some stuff ![]() The following members like this post: sonofedg

Re: Looking for someone to convert audio tapes!!!!!
Good luck with that, I've been trying, here and in PM, to tease that ('which bands') out of him for a fortnight, with no results.
