Re: [ARSCLIST] What to do with 2-inch tapes?

Rob,
My suggestion would be to contact one of the recording studios there.  Chicago Recording Company would be a good start.  If they can't do it, they will know who can.  There are many studios in the Chicago area that use 2 inch tape.  Having the tracks transferred is the easy part.  The decision will be which digital file format.  That will depend on what you plan on doing with the files afterward.

Subject:        [ARSCLIST] What to do with 2-inch tapes?

Esteemed archivists and collectors,
I have about 20 2-inch reel-to-reel tapes, each with probably about 20 to 30
minutes on them. I am looking for an affordable way to get the music off
them onto a digital format, preferably with the multiple tracks intact. Does
anyone have suggestions? I'm located in the Chicago area. The music is of
Caribbean origin, and is obviously irreplaceable, so I'm not interested in
shipping the tapes anywhere, but I would perhaps be willing to drive up to
300 miles outside Chicago. I'd be grateful for any tips. Thanks again.
