Hi all.
I am digitising a vast (1000+) VHS tapes which I am struggling to configure the audio for.
The audio isn't necessarily important to me, It's just the words that are as Im getting them all transcribed via DaVinci.
In summary there is a syncing issue perhaps due to lack of TBC, which I am OK about, the picture quality is absolutely fine and stable but the audio is not and I get a lot of tape distortion when listening to the digitised file and it gets worse as the recording goes on.
As I listen to the audio (through amp) on the tape it sounds fine, no distortion.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why Im getting distortion?
You can hear the audio but you get this background noise, possibly sounding like the tape going through the reels, however I don't hear this when recording and listening through the amp?
I've tried running audio through the AMP with composite out of VCR but then I get no sound.
The set up is :
VHS video out-SCART> Sony Video monitor > video OUT > into Black Magic Ultrastudio HD mini (PAL/NTSC)
(Also off the SCART I have Composite (from SCART) going into Amp so I can hear tape while recording)
VHS Composite audio out > BlackMagic Ultrastudio JACK L/R IN.
FYI - I am in the UK. I have posted this int he BlackMagic forum and no one has answered me
Thanks for your thoughts. I hope there are some
