Re: archiving methods



Jeepers folks,
 
All of us should already know how fast tape degrades, no matter how much you paid for it.  I suppose if you don't like the idea of Bad CD Mixdown Syndrome one can just keep it in storage, on tape, and hope for the best.  Each dupe you make loses more and more - but we know that too.  The way I figure it, as long as I can make a CD containing the archives formerly saved on tape, I can freeze that degradation, yes?
 
I'm in the long process of archiving old recorded material of mine to CD, dating back to 1979.  Boy, is there a lotta hiss in those early ones!  But a lot less than there would be if I put this off, hm?
