I can record 2 cassettes in the time it takes to play them, about 3 hours, reverse the right channel in about 2 minutes, change the play back sample rate in one second from 44,100 to 22,050Hz, select the left channel and copy that to the clipboard, (in a minute) paste that into a mono file so it is in the center channel (tracks 1 2 5 and 6 in that order), go back to my stereo file, select the corrected right channel and copy to the clipboard, go to the mono file and paste it to the end and get in this order, channels 7, 8, 4, and 3. I then, section each track to a single file by regions, (using either Sound Forge or Gold Wave), and all that processing doesn't take a half hour, start to finish, about 12 hours of listening recorded, processed, in about 4.
Curtis Delzer p.s. (you can start the recording before you go to bed at night and it's all done in the morning, (your computer won't record more than 3 hours and about 22 minutes continuously into a *.wave file at 44,100Hz stereo, because it is 2 gigabytes. For that I use Studio Recorder. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donald L.

For what it's worth, I prefer to use the NLS player playing at 3 and three quarters inches per second, obviously recording only one track at a time. In some cases, I use an equalization plug in available for Total Recorder which works either in playback or record mode. For me, at least, having to reverse each even-numbered track which one would have to do using your method slows me down far too much. I realize that your mileage may vary.
