Actually, since you wanted the new speed to be 0.25 of the original, the inverse of 0.25 = (1 / 0.25) = 4.0 ... so using -by 4.0 then using the python script to set the sample rate to 48000 would have also worked. But your method is effectively the same thing (in reverse) so the end result file is the same. Glad I could help, but it sucks that the tape was that much faster. Re-recording at 96k would probably really help to maintain fidelity. jlc
