Title: Fixing a channel drop-out
Post by: Jhurlbs81 on April 03, 2007, 04:10:24 PM

Guys,
    I have an old DAT tape where left channel drops out during the last 20 minutes of the tape.  What is the best way of salvaging it?   Is it just a copy paste deal?  I use Soundforge 6.0 FWIW.

Thanks
Jesse

been years since I have used SF but I am nearly positive it has a feature that allows you to highlight all of the silence and choose "copy other channel" or the like.  Best of luck and hopefully it was not a gear issue...

I use SF8, and there is definitely a pull down under Tools>Repair>Copy other channel.  If it is not available on your version, you can always to a cut and paste.

I would copy and paste, but that is just me. :P
