Thoughts please Would be an advantage to record my many reel to reel tapes onto a hard drive. The Nova Fidelity range may well suit Good idea and cunning plan until I thought about what I wanted to achieve and how long it would take. It will take a loooong time as I can only see recording in real time. Maybe double speed play in and tweak after if possible..... Prime object consists of a mix of tracks from all over the place via John Peel's wonderful radio programme. Have sourced a lot of the original music on LP or CD now with quite a lot not available. I want to have the original sequence to keep my original playing order. Is there software to allow me to cut and paste tracks, edit out the odd one ? Where a track is poor can I drop in my CD or LP version, if necessary adjust volume after on the HD ? Software that recognise the tracks and make me a list ? I know I'm asking a lot, but maybe there is already an App on a phone that does it

Forget all the auto recognition, do it for you ideas - it doesn't exist. Forget playing anything at another speed to standard playback also.
I would suggest using a digital recorder from the likes of TASCAM. One area where you might have issues is padding down the levels so as not to clip the front end of the recorder. The TASCAM recorder stores files onto an SD card, which you can then transfer to a PC for editing, which means you'd also need to get to grips with an audio editing program of one sort or another. The programs that claim to do it all for you are generally poor, and work on a lowest common denominator level.
Either way round, you're going to need to get to grips with audio editing on a PC.

There must be some dealers offering this as a service? It sounds like a lot of effort otherwise.

Wondered if I was wishing for the moon TASCAM DA-3000 ? Audio editing I could do. Takes me back to messing around with reel to reels. Don't need a Phd in computer science I hope ? This could work
