<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We still use the Telex Edat/Zing setup
- mostly using a slightly modified Telex 6120 XLP duplicator running at
8X speed for cassettes, or a Telex 6120-M for reel masters. Our Zing software
runs successfully on Windows 7. We clean up the newly created WAV files
using Sound Forge, but are awaiting delivery of iZotope RX-5 software.</font>

Howdy Marcus,<br>
<br>
Please call me Miles or SMiles. :-)<br>
<br>
Briefly, we had been using a hardware/software combination called Telex
Edat/Zing which included an internal sound card with RCA style audio inputs
which ran from our high-speed Infonics Reel-to-Reel unit into the PC. This
software/hardware was designed with NLS standards in-mind and automatically
pitch-shifted the high-speed input down to correct speeds for listening
as well as reversing the backwards audio channels from the reel masters.
However, our IRT department forced us to abandon this setup due to regulations
regarding "obsolete" / "legacy" software - this hardware/software
was only compatible with the Windows XP OS and we've been forced forward
to only products running on Windows 7. <br>
<br>
After initial attempts to utilize Sony Sound Forge software connected to
a FocusRite Scarlett 18i6 DAI (Digital Audio Interface device connected
with XLR cables to said Infonics high-speed Reel-to-Reel unit) were thwarted
by technical bugs/issues, we went down an extremely frustrating path attempting
to use some free software from Ableton called Live 9 Lite with FocusRite
Scarlett 18i6 & 18i8 DAIs.<br>
<br>
We spent far too long developing procedures for this terribly frustrating
Ableton Live 9 Lite software. Just as we were about to begin training staff
on this software, we decided it would be worthwhile to re-examine the Sony
Sound Forge option to see if the bugs/issues we'd encountered had perhaps
been fixed. While some of the issues have been fixed, there still remain
one or two issues, however, these are surmountable and we've decided that,
given the terrible / frustrating aspects of the Ableton Live 9 Lite software,
we're going forward with using Sony Sound Forge - which we already use
extensively for post-production / mastering etc.<br>
<br>
I can send you more details soon. :-)<br>

Hi Stephen,<br>
<br>
<br>
Is there a specific software you use for the A2D conversions? How does
that process work? <br>
