[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 218833, member: 52"] Ramon, It is doubtful any reel to reel tape recorded in 1994 would be anything but an analog recording. 1/4" tape could be in twin track or quarter track format at 7.5, 15, or 30 inch per second, and one of a half dozen Dolby or DBX noise reduction formats may have been used in the recording. The reel to reel would have been re-recorded to the lost MiniDisc, a magneto-optical digital format from 1992, or the MiniDisc could have been recorded at the same time as the analog reel to reel as a backup instead of using the more common analog cassette format. There are still many studios and individuals with reel to reel tape machines. If the tape can be played back, it can be re-recorded to a digital format. Using a digital format it might be possible to isolate individual parts from a stereo mix with a program like RipX, but would take time. [MEDIA=youtube]okLPXSm_FaY[/MEDIA] Programs like Auto-Tune have note identification. AnthemScore has a display that identifies notes, and can actually create scores from them.
