Title: Frequency response of a cassette
Post by: Andrea82 on May 30, 2015, 04:12:31 AM

Hello,
I've done a digital transfer of a cassette tape. I plug my sony deck into my sony pcm-m10 and I saved the music in wave format at 16-44.1.
Can be normal to have the frequency response I attached in this message?

I'd second this... depending on the recorder and mic used, age of the tape, azimuth, etc., you'd be hard pressed to see much more than what you see there.

The important thing is: how does it sound (relative to being an analog tape)?

Try looking at it with Logarithmic Frequency rather than Linear.

Log will show each octave of sound with equal spacing, it's more like the way we hear.
