[Coco] Recovering a damaged cassette file

[Chad H]

I've played a little bit with the .mp3 file and the .wav.  Both have the
beforementioned audio drop out at the end...the same place my CoCo 2 gives
IO error when trying to CLOAD these.  I tried the CLOADM and it errored out
quickly, stating ?FM error so apparently not a ML program file.  The .mp3
version seemed to be slightly 'deeper pitched' than the .wav version, but
both attempted to load same file name "LAB.GIG."

Ran files through some filters and reshapers in Sony Sound Forge, especially
trying to normalize the volume at the dropout, but nothing that works yet.
It almost sounds like the tape may have briefly slowed down at that point
too..like maybe due to tape bind.  That would throw off the data timing I
suspect if so.

Hi,

One point of interest, I see a difference between the
www.yaccs.info/MyDoD.jpg and the files

http://www.yaccs.info/MyDoD/MyDoD.mp3
http://www.yaccs.info/MyDoD/MyDoD.wav
http://www.yaccs.info/MyDoD/MyDoD.aup.zip

I am not sure that they are even the same audio recording.

More data would be helpful.

What computer, CoCo 2 or CoCo 3.

And more about what the recording is, BASIC, Data or CLOADM?

SHF

Can some one please clue me into how to input the wav into VCC, I think I
had it right but the tape moved, AUDIO ON had no sound and nothing happened.

I was going to give this a try...or has someone already recovered it for
you?

Thanks to anyone who can give it a try.
