What i do is, since I have the use of a four track recorder of the multitrack
variety, I record with sound forge tracks 1 and 3 off the recorder, 1
completely panned to the left and 3 completely panned to the right. I record
all this at 1 and 7/8 speed off the recorder and at a sampling rate of 44/100.
Then when I'm done, I'd select the content off a single channel and copy it to
aanother window that is set for mono at a sampling rate of 22/050, then save
the mono file according to the side number.
Tracks 1 and 3 are what I use since they both play in the same direction and
one does not need to do any reversing. Of course, again, this is for those of
us with multitrack tape recorders.

Peter! I haven't recorded a talking book from cassette to my computer
in quite a while so I don't remember the exact settings I used. With Sound
Forge set to record at 11,025 samples per second, 16 bit, stereo I would
record a talking book cassette played in an ordinary stereo cassette player.
I could only do one side of a cassette at a time. After recording I would
have a recording where two tracks played together and at twice their normal
speed. With Sound Forge I could separate the tracks and slow them down. I
always used Pitch Shift to slow them down but others use resampleing. I
guess if I were doing it today I would record at 44,100 in order to preserve
as much of the audio quality as possible. I would let the MP3 conversion
handle all the file compression. For MP3s of speech files today I routinely
use 32 KBPS. If you can't figure out part of this feel free to let me know.
I'd have to play a little to remember how some of this is done.
Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays.
