<p>Hi, All,</p>
I was asked to digitize a small collection of the early work of of
an electronic music composer from the 1960s and 1970s. The person
sponsoring the work would like to know how to possibly distribute
these recordings, perhaps for sale, but is interested in preserving
them for as long as possible.
<p>The obvious suggestion is WAV files in a trusted digital
repository. I already have the sets of 4 mono WAV files at 192/24
that I made. The question is "now what?"</p>
<p>One friend says he doesn't know much about the mechanics, but his
Oppo player will handle just about any released quad he's found
either on an optical disc or on a thumb drive downloaded.</p>
<p>Are there any standards for formatting multichannel WAV or FLAC
files (both are capable of this). The composer's standard was
starting at rear right (1) going clockwise to front right (4). My
few 1970s recordings in quad were 1,2 and 3,4 for front/rear--I
think--though the one quarter track one I did was perhaps LR LF RF
RR to keep the front channels away from the edges--I haven't seen
that tape for years, but I may still have it. I was fairly good
with metadata from the start.<br>
</p>
<p>Is there any ISO standard for 4.0 distribution?</p>
<p>Any help/suggestions on how to do the "right" thing would be
appreciated! I have spent time searching, but I'm not finding the
right keywords, I guess.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Richard<br>
