FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
©2004 ultraelectronicactive.com
• What does it take transfer Reel to Reel tape to CD or MP3?
©2004 ultraelectronicactive.com
As tape reels vary in sizes and can be recorded in various diferent formats and recording speeds, a definte estimate can only be given when all details in regards to formats and the recorded material a tape contains, are known (Detail below).
The time required to transfer depends entirely on: the format and the quality of your recordigns, and on the quality of the desired final product. (More DETAIL below!)
Rule of thumb: If wishing to receive CD’s (or MP3’s) where each tune / piece from a tape can be accessed as a separate track on a CD, an average work/transfer time double of the material length (or: play time can) be expected. In other words: Required transfer work time averages aproximately double the PLAY TIME of the material recorded on your tapes.
• How do I estimate PLAY TIME (or material length) of my open reel tapes?
©2004 ultraelectronicactive.com
Guideline: One 7" Open Reel Tape contains about 1800' of tape and will play in stereo: 45 Minutes @ 7 1/2 IPS, 90 Min. @ 3 3/4 IPS or 180 Minutes @ 1 7/8 IPS, PER SIDE (!) - so double the time if recorded double sided; AND: if recorded in mono: (as there are 2 tracks per side for quater track width) double the time AGAIN!.
• DETAILED guidelines and perspectives to estimate aproximate time for material lengthes and work time:
©2004 ultraelectronicactive.com
Assuming that the recordings on a tape are of reasonable quality, that the tape is in reasonably good physical condtion and that it is desired that each tune is to be accessible as a separate track on the final CD: it takes in the average about twice as much time than the material's playtime, to properly record and master
©2004 ultraelectronicactive.com
These factors likely may reduce required time to process:
- Recording in one swoop without any interruption - (drawback: output CD will have only 1 accessible track on it)
- Tapes recorded at highest speeds
- Recordings of excellent quality and that are:
- propperly separated with silence between each tune / piece
- Tapes in perfect physical condition
- Tapes that have little material on them or have few separate tuens / pieces requiring no- or little separation.
©2004 ultraelectronicactive.com
These factors will add to the required time to process:
- different recording levels or different tonal qualities on the same tape, (tape was recorded on different machines, or at different times, or have great variation of material on the tape)
- sound quality poor or varies (may add considerably to the time it takes to process, as each change requires time to readjust processing).
- Poor quality recordings (set-up time for equalisation / resotration and post processing)
- Tunes merge into each other; talk over the beginning or ending of materials etc.
- Poor quality tape materials: aged tapes that are brittle, have loose tape partices, are torn, have wrinkles, are tearing apart easily, or a chemically contaminated, were storred in poor environments, etc.
• What do you need form me to give an estimate for transfers of my materials?
©2004 ultraelectronicactive.com
Tape formats:
- 1/4” or 1/2” width
- Reel size: 3”, 5”, 7” 10”
- Recording format: stereo or mono tracks (or multi track);
- track fromat / track width: quarter track, half track, full track, (or special asigned, such as staggered, multi track, etc.)
- Recording Speed Info (Speeds: 1 7/8, 3 3/4, 7 1/5, 15, 38 IPS)
- Physical condition of the tapes(s)
- Material on the tape.
