Re: arsclist media preservation and access project

Hi all:
OK OK... I have got to better proofread, and I am sending this out only
since I don't want to have a mistake running about what the institution I
work at's doing:
I meant to write 96/24 sample rate in ProTools and the WAV file.
Thanks and sorry for the pain of 2 wrong things. I'm a better reader than
poster in listservs.
