Audacity is a basic sound editing program. It is not fancy but it works, not too hard to learn and use, and it is free!
The Hi-8 format was also used for digital audio via the popular (with home studios at least) Tascam DA-88, which offered 8 tracks of 16 bit audio at a reasonable cost and was a competitor with the ADAT system which put digital audio on VHS tapes. My first cd was recorded on a Tascam DA-88 straight to two track 24/88.2 (there was some aftermarket device my engineer had to make this possible.) I have no idea where to find someone with the gear to "unpack" this and put it on a hard drive. I also have "safety" copies of the session at 16/44.1 on cdr and DAT. I don't have a DAT machine either, but at least I should be able to play the cdr's! The real moral of this story is the difficulty of archiving digital materials in the super fast changing world of digital "standards."
