Suggestions for audio copying a DVD.

[rustoffa]

Check this shit out.

I borrowed a TECHNICS 8-Track recorder last week. The fucker I borrowed it from is a HARDCORE analog enthusiast, and also supplied me with BRAND NEW blank 8-Track tapes. He laughed @ my hairbrained idea 'cause he's jealous of my twenty thousand dollar tube DAC that's better than his thirty thousand dollar one. Manipulation is a great thing. The hairbrained idea got me the recorder and the tapes.

Anyway, I ran the Frampton Comes Alive remaster through the DAC directly to 8-Track. Guess what?

It fucking sounds better. Fuck the clunks.
It's all about discipline.

I do, but audio recordings come out pretty shitty and lossy.

if it's AC-3 audio off a regular DVD, the purists say it ain't lossless. so it may not be your final product that's flawed, but your source.

Hey Rust...that is why I mix down to Hi-Fi VHS.

The equivalent of 1" analog 2 track tape!

No shit. Can you adjust the settings? If you are sampling at 22 khz, then of course they will sound like shit.

Yes, they're adjustable...

That may be Nicks trouble...

I can adjust my wav sampling frequency down to 8.000khz, and bits per sample to 8...

That would naturally sound like shit...

I've got it.

I needed a better program to play the DVD in the background so I could record the audio through the computer...

I also needed to adjust the WAV recording source.

Right on dude!

Glad you got it figured out!
