I have this on a cassette. A musical version of A Christmas Carol. Has the BBC tended to keep things like this?

It's quite a decent recording. Probably made on a music centre from FM. One side of the stereo signal disappears for a while. Could perhaps be improved further with another transfer tweaking the audio head. scrooge.mp3 (503.16 KB) |

Only a few seconds long!! I think that it's against the forum's rules to share any copyright material (apart from short extracts). |

Pointless exercise then.

Please stop this Stephen. No it isn't a pointless exercise. It was to demonstrate the quality of the recording and it could be returned to the copyright holder. But it isn't going to be put on YouTube illegally for you. |

The copyright holder won’t take MP3s I’ve tried …

That's no problem. We have the cassette and can do an uncompressed transfer with the audio head tweaked if necessary.

The copyright holder won’t take MP3s I’ve tried … In these days where disc space and bandwith are a hundred times as cheap as they once were, you might as well go for wav files, 44.1 or 48. There's also a neat trick to reduce the noise. With an editing program you select a bit of silence, so that is a sample of JUST the noise. The program then subtracts that from the proper audio. |

No no no, this is a really horrible way of reducing sound and leaves lots of horrible artifacts. Maybe it was good 20 years ago, but there are a lot of better ways of doing this now. It's a quick easy fix that sounds impressive at first glance, but it makes the audio sound really strange and unnatural. |
