Hoaxing this board gets done now and again. If ian990003100 indeed has hoaxed the board then it WILL get found out, and it will get the treatment it deserves. However if ian990003100 had no intention of hoaxing the board but was given bunk information, then he did not intentionally commit a hoax, but was duped. Which happens to the best of us from time to time.
If you find that you kill threads you don't mean to don't worry just join the ranks of the threadkillers annon. Your in good hands here.

just what is on the audio recording?
what is the condition of the tape or tapes? especially if they are 30+ years old.
Unless he had been in posession of the audio for the 30+ years the tape was in existance there is no way for him to know what condition the tape was stored.
how was is stored?
Up untill he had gained posession of the tape again he would have little or no information to give you.
where was it stored?
Up untill he had gained posession of the tape again he would have little or no information to give you.
the conditions of the storage area?
Aparently he had sent this out to a company to have it done so he would not know how to do it.
How are you digitizing it? (the tape)
This is a legitimate question that he should be able to answer.
Its been nearly one month since ian990003100 first posted this thread. Im wondering ian,
can you give us an estimate as to when you will have this audio on ATS for us to hear?
Again he should have knowledge of this especially because he is having it sent out to be reformated.
what format / condition is the recording in ?
he should have given us this in his opening statement.
what EXACTLY did you listen to ???
this should be known to him and should have been answered.
Is it one reel – or more than one ???
This would be difficult unless he knew what sizes reels come in. I would have no clue what to tell you myself.
What reel size ???????????????
Again without pre existing knowledge of the technology he would have no clue what to tell you besides metal or plastic.
What reel type – plastic or metal , flange or no flange ?
Again without pre existing knowledge of the technology he would have no clue what to tell you.
What hub centres – cine or NAB ???
This information should have been available as it would have been written on the side of the machine.
What speed did you play it at ?
What machine did you use ?
Should have been answered in the OP
What exactly did you listen to ??
This should have been answered when he told you that he is having it transfered.
my question then is just how long is this recording? what format is it being transferred to the dvd, i.e. wave, mp3, flac, aac, wma?
you already asked this.
By the way, What was on the 30 seconds of audio that you DID hear?
Another question that I have asked but you have not answered is, What was on the 30 seconds of audio you heard? What was said?
just what type of tape reel is it? could you take a picture of it?
why has it taken you so long to NOT even have a photo of the reel?
What I'm wondering about is why did this gentleman give you the recording to begin with without caring what happens to it
(did he not know you would mail it elsewhere??).
Further more, why did you *ship* it to some remote place to get it converted, do you live in the boonies and there are no
post-production facilities around to do the job?
