IASA Guidelines on the production and preservation of digital audio object has a time factor chapter http://www.iasa-web.org/tc04/mechanical-carriers-time-factor Ciao, lars -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] På vegne av Shai Drori Sendt: 23. november 2015 08:15 Til: [log in to unmask] Emne: Re: [ARSCLIST] Process suggestions for digitizing a very large quantity of 78s. Dear Joel Disclaimer first: I have a studio that deal with digitizing analog media to digital files, but this is not a plug for my services (although you are more than welcome to contact me off list). Of all the media types out there, the one that can not be masses digitized are the early records. The setup time for each record is different and takes much longer than the actual playing time. This is one station where there is one operator per playing device, unlike cassettes or reel to reels where I can have one operator controlling several playing devices. If you have that many records to digitize you will need a large staff and many stations. From my experience you do not need to wash all records. Usually, most records are actually quite clean and need just a good dusting. Gotta go but will be glad to answer follow up questions.
