I'm just now getting around to this mammoth project. I got really serious when I received a series of cassettes from my library on international library loan. When I put cassette #3 into the machine, the tape came off the tape reel and the cassette was unusable. Fortunately, they had made a backup copy of the cassettes, which they sent me after the long and predictable delays of mailing the defective cassette series back to the library, them mailing it back to the originating library and that library mailing a new series back to my local library. I am quite fearful that playing a tape more than once might cause another problem. Fortunately I had purchased Sound Forge 5.0 a few years ago when some online store was running a great special that tossed in the noise reduction bundle. The fear of another tape snafu motivated me to learn how to feed the tape output into my computer, edit the blank space at the beginning and end of the recording, and apply the noise reduction plug in to reduce dramatically the tape hiss.
Ideally, you would use Sound Forge with the noise reduction bundle so the tape hiss can be removed.
the next project is a cassette tutorial I have. last week a cassette from the tutorial
got twisted in my tape player. It was necessary to unscrew the cassette and
take it apart to reach the tape and flatten it out. I may only have a few
plays of this cassette before it self-destructs. I am slowly getting
annoyed with cassette technology and its hassles.

Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is well this evening.
I just wanted to ask, I have some sets of 4-track cassetts that I would like to record onto my computer. I have a 4-track tape player, and a patch cable. Now, what software and steps do I need to do to record these cassetts as clear as possible? thanks to e veryone. _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org
