Subject: Changing the sample rate of a WAV file
Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2001 23:14:01 -0600 (CST)
I have a cassette that plays back too fast and too high in pitch. I have
a theory that it went through at least one digital generation before being
recorded to cassette and somewhere along the way a tape recorded at
44.1KHz accidentally got played back at 48KHz, thus speeding it up. If I
resample in CoolEdit 2000 by the same percentage of slowdown, it sounds
about right.
So, what I would like to do is take a 48KHz DAT recording of the cassette,
transfer it to a WAV file with my ZA2, and modify the WAV file to play
back at 44.1KHz, without any resampling at all. Just change the sample
rate in the WAV file header. How can I do this? Can it be done in
CE2000, or is there other software that will let me do it? I'd even
resort to using a hex editor if I knew what bits to flip. Any help much
appreciated!

Hi "tapers"
- For a long time I have been looking for Golden Earring shows from their great
time when they toured the States several times (but I couldnīt find anything).
If there is something in your archives - please let me know and letīs trade!!!
Kind regards,

I'm looking for any tapers who have recorded any "Dark Star" shows.
They are un UK band (formerly called "Levitation") that played
quite a few UK dates during 99 and 2000.
In all this time I have only been able to find 2 tapers (4 shows in total).
I have these for trade and also my own FM master from the Benicassim
Festival in 1999.
I have many other bands including some spanish AUD/FM masters to trade.
Also interested in the current Mercury Rev tour.

Jose,
I developed a tool to assemble audio tracks using a text script. While
there are graphical editors for this, I wanted to have something to do
this from a command line to be able to batch process. You can insert
spacing also. Maybe a good companion tool for EAC? There is also an
option to truncate a recording to end on an even CD sector boundary.
If the tools I have available for this appeal to you, download the files
at http://www.shoptheozarks.com/GGM/wavscript.html .
For occasional use, it is perhaps inconvenient to remember the
syntactical rules for a scripting language. So recently I developed a
GUI interface for WAVscript called ScriptWriter. It writes the specs for
the file assembly tool through point-and-click.

Hex-edit would be the way I'd do it. Here's a typical wave header:
offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 0123456789abc=
def
============================================================================
---
00000000 52 49 46 46 1c a9 0f 00 57 41 56 45 66 6d 74 20 RIFF.=A9..WAV=
Efmt
00000010 10 00 00 00 01 00 02 00 [80 bb]00 00 00 ee 02 00 .........=BB.=
=2E.=EE..
00000020 04 00 10 00 64 61 74 61 f8 a8 0f 00 64 06 81 05 ....data=F8=
=A8..d...
The bytes of interest are at 0x18 and 0x19 (0x80 and 0xBB in the
above example). these are (in little endian) 0xBB80=3D=3D48000 and
0xAC44=3D=3D44100. So you need to change the above to:
offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 0123456789abc=
def
============================================================================
---
00000000 52 49 46 46 1c a9 0f 00 57 41 56 45 66 6d 74 20 RIFF.=A9..WAV=

00000010 10 00 00 00 01 00 02 00 [44 ac]00 00 00 ee 02 00 .........=BB.=

tried to transfer a DAT thur a digi coax to the soundcard and into Cool
Edit Pro. I got it to record fine except that once I play the wav back
and put it to disc to listen to it was slow. Is there something wrong
in my setup or settings I don't know about? Thanks for your help.

CMC64V means a CMC 6 body with an MK4V capsule
attached. This is fact and if you know who to ask
you'd know. But ya know, if some guys want to put
&^^*> &*$^$> %&^&%> $&^&$> on their tapes, thats
great. Are some of us getting confused, possibly
thinking the rig is blowing rather than sucking the
music? I don't know if we care what patchcord you're
using, but the power supply, a/d and deck are of
course important. I doubt if any of us are going to
mix up the order.

Hi-
For those of you who think you're super anal when it comes to labelling
the source of tapes, I not only ID the mic's, capsules and deck, I also
ID the other decks in the line regardless of whether my deck is the
first, in the middle or last and circle or underline the deck that
actually made the specific tape I'm labelling... And if that's not OCD
enough, I also ID the actual seat or, if GA, as close to the specific
location in the venue as possible...

.....HELP! I NEED a SBD copy of this show ..... preferably on DAT. I only ever had an analog copy, and the poor thing was recently "eaten". I still have the second set, but it is on an old VERY used (up) analog tape......as this is one of my favorite shows ever. I've got some older Dead, a couple SCI shows, and a few Keller Williams shows if you want to work a trade, or will be quite happy doing a B&P thing. Here is the email address I use most often: nutball67@hotmail.com
PLEASE, help me...... :-(

Not necessarily. Multiple decks can be patched out of one A->D and one can
have dropouts while another could be clean, or depending on the length of
tape used in each deck one could have tape swaps after 2 hours while another
could be continuous for 3 hours. Tracking the model of the deck is one way
to follow which master a clone came from.

Hi Folks, Stings concert at the Beacon Theatre in NY is being broadcast by
WPLJ in NY starting at 8pm (Thurs 6th) and as I am going to the show, I will
be unable to tape the broadcast, I think it may also be broadcast nationwide
through some other afiliates, but I am not positive. I am leaving to go off
to the show now, so I wont be able to reply to any emails during the day,
but whatever the case, I will manage to organise a good trade for whomever
gets a nice recording
Many thanks
Jeremy

Which does little to explain why people buy AD1Ks and then run
them into HHbs or Stelladats with equally-high-end converters built in. :)

I spoke with the folks at Sony at the recent AES convention. They have
discontinued the entire consumer DAT product line (TCD-D8, TCD-D100,
SBM-1), leaving only the pro PCM-M1 portable DAT recorder in production.
All accessories (including cables) were considered consumer products and
have also been discontinued.
Sorry to bring the bad news!
