Message-ID: <6121@megaron.arizona.edu> Date: 6 Jul 88 21:15:59 GMT Organization: U of Arizona CS Dept, Tucson Lines: 22 Do you know of a way to control an audio tape from an Amiga program? I need precise repositioning and replay. The application is a folklore archive of audio recordings; each recording will be on a standard C60 cassette. (It will be possible to transfer to some other media if required). I plan to write a program to assist in commenting and transcribing the recordings; so we need to be able to index to a certain point in the recording reliably and repeatably (for notations), and to replay random sections at will (for transcription). I have thought of digitizing the recordings, but that would consume too much storage. In case we do digitize sections, it would be nice to be able to synchronize the digitized portions with the source tape. What combination of hardware and software would you recommend for this project? Thanks, Roger Hayes rogerh@arizona.edu {cmcl2,noao,research}!arizona!rogerh
