Any one here own a R2R

Back in the mid/late 60s I was part of a band (sad). We recorded some rehearsals on a Ferograph 4 track that I still have and would like to get transferred to cd? I know they would possibly be crap, but just for old times sake. Any ideas were I could get this done?

    Not immediately. Have you done a Google search?

    Yep but never sure with what it brings up. I have no experience of transferring 40+ year old tapes and would be disappointed to loose them. Just wondered if anyone here knows about R.R and how to go about it.

    Fair enough.

    Well that was a little strange, I opened the thread thinking you'd just landed yourself a Rolls Royce!
    I assume the music on the R2Rs is in stereo and not full four track?
    If stereo a little digital interface would do the job, such as the little  Behringer or similar.
    If full four track I guess you'd need to bump it down to stereo first. The old four track compact cassette "portastudio" range from Tascam was king amongst wannabe bands, including mine  ;) and were capable of this job.

    Ours looked a lot like this one and they're not bank breakers.

    BTW, which instrument did you play?

    Should have been R2R sorry. Also no longer have the tape deck, just the tapes so no means of playback. Thank you for your comments.

    Ahhh ok, I read your post wrongly, I thought you still had the R2R deck.
    You'll probably need to seek out a local  company that offer this kind of service.

    Found one, apparently they can transfer to cd, I know its going to be probably be crap but its part of my life. No matter how bad Id like to hear it at least once. We will see :)
