Hello list,
Our lab was landed a large scale project digitizing audio from diverse
sources.
At present we use several DAW stations based around Pro Tools, Nuendo,
Wavelab. 
I was asked to consider what Cube-Tec has to offer, especially QUADRIGA.
Quandriga is "archive solution for digitizing a variety of media types,
transferring single carrier sound archives into digital mass storage
systems, with a strong emphasis on audio quality and metadata accuracy"
Exactly what one would need. The problem is the astronomic price tag for
getting on this bandwagon.
Embedding the data into the audio files in utmost important. 
I wonder what would you suggest as a working solution for digitizing,
archiving and inputting proper metadata.
