So why use the computer?
Analogue sound is notorious for producing hiss. It is unavoidable that you
will generate hiss on any analogue recording, but digital processing gives a
much crisper sound. You can also add a heavy bass, distinctive trebel and
absorb a significant amount of source hiss through careful balancing of the
sound with an equalizer. The new copy of the tape will only suffer first
generation hiss - none of that 'Indiana Jones Snake Pit' background noise.
By setting the sampling rate to it's highest level, you can get a very high
quality of sound. Careful setting up of the equalizer will nearly always
produce a far superior sound quality than the original. Video soundtracks
have a habit of being very flat - they are all mid-range with little or no
bass or trebel (except some HiFi sound videos - even some of these are
pretty poor). This process will liven the sound up to give a superior
product.
On the topic of duplication, I would like to add that copyrite should be
observed. This means that if you duplicate Video tapes (like the Roger
Ramjet tape) you are (strictly) breaking the law. I maintain that the
duplicated tape is for personal use and I do not intend to make profit from
my exploits, but this still does not make it legal.
I am totally against the duplication of tapes (and software for that matter!)
for personal gain - it is very naughty and bloody minded. I can't stop you
doing such things but I can attempt to make you feel guilty.
