Hi Gang
Seeing the wisdom of the group. I am digitizing log tapes for a client.
Tapes are 40 tracks each generating 400GB per tape at 48kh/24bit. Obviously
there is nothing on those 15/32" IPS tapes that needs that fidielity, and
my client doesn't have the storage capacity for all her tapes (lot of
them). So the question is what format should we compress to. MP3 at 256KB/s
is one option, staying with wave but reducing the sampling to 22Khz/16bit
is another (not sure it's small enough), maybe even 11Khz? Other options?
As you can imagine the audio is worse than AM but I do want to keep it as
close to the original as possible. Manufacturer claims top freq at around
3Khz.
בברכה,
שי דרורי.
