+Philsan Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Is someone able to load those wav and convert them to cas? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31250838/aufgepasst_audio.zip https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31250838/battaglia_degli_insetti_audio.zip https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31250838/boccone_audio.zip https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31250838/frecce_indicatrici_audio.zip I get a boot error in Altirra. I think audio needs to be adjusted. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low.blow Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I tried real quick to fix and convert the first file with no luck. I was unable to download the second file, dropbox 404 error. I'll give it another go later on if no one else gets to it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Thank you. I added two more files to first post. Unfortunately I don't own those tapes. I kindly received them from a friend and I cannot make a better audio import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low.blow Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I was able to download all of the files, but was unsuccessful converting them to .cas. I tried wav2cas and a8cas. I don't really know how to use a8cas very well. I was able to create bad .cas files(and .hex files), so I'm pretty sure I was using it correctly(without using the more advanced options...). Maybe Kr0tki or someone more knowledgeable than I could get these fixed for you. Sorry! Good luck. The levels didn't seem too bad, but the recordings seemed very noisy with a loud whining sound. Tweaking it in Audacity didn't seem to help... Edited October 2, 2014 by low.blow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorfdbg Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is someone able to load those wav and convert them to cas? I think audio needs to be adjusted. Sorry, but this signal is too distorted for any restauration. The problem is that the signal is fading after a few seconds, probably because the tape lost contact to the receiving head of the casette player, or probably because the tape itself is damaged. With drop-outs as large as the ones in this recording, restoring the data is impossible. Try to record the audio again, but this time on a better quality player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Sometimes the head pressure pad falls off on old tapes... reglue the pad or move tape to new cassette... a new recording could be made from the tape at that point.... please use a different cassette deck in any event the motor humm is terrible.. bad capacitors?
