Hello everyone. I need your assistance. I have an old and well kept ReVox B-77 two track open reel recorder. I have a few tapes recorded at 7.5 ips that are very valuable to me. They are of a live band where I sang. Not very good, but it is the only record existing of this. There are other also unique recordings on tape.
I would like to digitize them and planning to use garageband in my Mac as I don't think the quality of the recording requires anything better than the 24/44.1 that the software allows.
I would like to have a "transparent enough" USB driven ADC to convert the signal for the Mac. It MAY be used also if I ever decide to digitize vinyl by connecting as phono preamp to it. Again, SOTA fidelity is not required as vinyl is the miming factor. Lastly, I will use it for a Neumann MA1 EQ for my 750/310 monitors.
I don't think I need a RME Babyface or something so high quality, but something that will get limited use and has sufficient ADC transparency.
Many of you have enormous experience with this and will probably help me. Budget is clearly much less than a babyface. It will be probably defined by the degree of transparency needed for my tasks. Thanks!
