Advice on film scanners related to audio capture please

[Kay Osbourne]

I have recently purchased some old film reels and I am interested in capturing the images AND the audio tracks as the reels contain live music.  Has anyone used the Arriscan XT with the optical sound decoding software?  Any other scanner(s) you would recommend for scanning audio on film?  Thx

I use AEO-Light to decode soundtrack from an overscan. It's really easy to do yourself, just need an over-scan of the film and you're good to go. I assume the Arriscan uses a similar process, but I have never used it for audio workflow. 

The Scan Station, Blackmagic Cintel and Spirit can do sound reading in real time no problem.

Excellent!  Thank you.

To some degree the higher resolution the scan the better AEO Light works I am sure the Arriscan XT does a fine job at 6K
