How to digitize 4 track cassettes with 4 separate mono tracks.
Follow the procedure outlined in With the MONA with the following changes:
- In Step 6: Monitor the volume of each track carefully. Adjust levels from one track to the next if necessary (ie. at points where the recording context changes).
- In Step 8: Make a note of the side's start and end times in the sheet "Preliminary Tracks" and if distinguishable, note any track start and end times.
- In Step 9: For 4 track mono cassettes the filename should be as follows: [cassette number]_Side_[A or B]. Save these files in the folder labeled: Frishkopf Ghana Field Recordings on the Desktop of the G4 in the media lab.
- In Step 11. Enter the following information into the Digitization Progress Master sheet of the file Frishkopf Ghana Field Recordings Metadata: The date you started digitizing; the time you started digitizing; your name; the bit rate & bit depth; the equipment used in the process; the software used in the process; the noise reduction settings used in the process, if any; whether or not you have verified the file (step 10). If a side is empty, please make a note on the spread sheet reading: Side [A or B] empty.
