Subject: Re: backupping cassett tapes
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.
