Ah, I bet I can guess what you're doing. Those NLS tape recorders break down too often, so I order the tapes from the library, and record them from my standard tape deck into mp3 files. However, I use the high-speed dubbing function, by faking a recording in the other tape deck, and so I can record a side of an NLS tape in 22 minutes. Then I do those steps I told you about, only instead of fiddling with sampling rates, I use the pitch control and put it to minus 25 or so to slow it down. If you were going to do the high-speed dubbing thing, then the sampling rate trick won't work, as it's four times the speed with the high-speed dubbing. For the right channel, I just hit the reverse process. Then I encode each one into an mp3 at 22500 and 32 kbits, naming them with the side numbers. I don't know if encoding an mp3 from 22500 wav to 22500 mp3 would sound lesser quality than if the original .wav file was at 44100, but anyway, that's how I deal with NLS tapes for now, until they go digital. I should say for anyone wondering, that I don't make the mp3s available anywhere. Once I listen to them, I delete them, just like I'd send back the tapes. I'll not get another machine from them of the tape variety. Thanks a lot. Matthew
