Rumbling noice from old vhs ”hi fi” tapes
Hi. This is my first post. I’ve been here for a while, reading and learning.
Thank you all kindly I have lots of VHS PAL material captured in the 80’s and early 90’s. It was captured whith a Panasonic recorder witch had FM modulated “hi Fi” sound track. Nowadays, when trying to digitize the material, the soundtracks sometimes have this rumbling noise like you are out of frequency on our radio. I know this has to be related to age. Dropouts occoure on the pictures as well. I’ve read some artikles about heat treatment of old tapes. I assume you souldn’t try that at home - or? Is there anything a private person can do to raise the quality og old tapes whithout buying a lab? You can do lots of things in postprocessing, but better input gives better output. |
