RE: [Harp-L] Recording advice needed

Best bet is to take it to a digital post production house (Here's a good one
in the KC area: http://www.lagoon.com/videoEditing.aspx - that is, if you're
in the KC area...) Have them digitize it and output it to DVD-5 format.
Unfortunately, coming from VHS (world's worst format) it will never look as
good as the original recorded tape(s), but at least you can stop the aging
process and freeze it where it is now in terms of quality.  

Hope that helps.

Subject: [Harp-L] Recording advice needed

I have a VHS tape compilation of live performances by the late Kansas
City bluesman Little Hatch, which I purchased at a fundraiser benefit
for his family shortly after his death. I would like advice about how
to transfer the audio to cd format, and possibly a program to mix it
for better quality. Would this be something one of the digital
recorders would do nicely? This isn't for the purpose of creating
bootlegs; I just hate thinking I'm wearing the tape out every time I
watch it or risk the machine eating it, so it just sits on the shelf.
Thanks,
Joe Spiers
