The tapes I have are mastered on tape. It may not be hard to analyze any with unknown provenance to see if they are digital copies.

Amir, my understanding is there exist artifacts/profiles, detectable upon objective analysis, which reveal digital processing.
Can you elucidate :confused:

Thanks.

I am going to do some hand waving here Sam as I have not done it :).

But yes, we can look for effects of anti-aliasing filters, noise-shaping, brick-wall filtering, etc. that survive in some manner through the analog transformation of tape record/playback. The fact that they record in high sample rate makes this potentially a lot harder than if they were copying from CD but should still be possible for a number of scenarios.
