Hey. I just looked at this thread again. I managed to put all my tapes onto
my computer but ran out of room to uncompress and flip tracks arond. So
maybe I will get a hard drive for xmas so I can put these files there. And
so they don't get destroyed.
thanks

Hi Brett,
I just saw this note today. I've gotten dreadfully behind
in reading emails.
I was thinking of putting up a tutorial on how to do this
entire operation. I'll be doing that this week.
When you originally record the tape, do it at 44.1
stereo. Then when
Hi, thank you for the kind words. I've done a huge amount of recording, so

computer to slow them down, assuming you have the software to do it that is.

Sound Forge does this admirably, and so does Gold Wave.

As long as there won't be any loss of quality and it sounds like you know

(I have a lot of tapes). This project scares me. Is there anything I
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
Just change the sampling rate after recording at 44,100Hz, to 22,050Hz and
you'll be fine, no loss since it was recorded at the higher sampling rate.
Don't re-sample the file, that won't change the pitch, just change the play
back sample rate in half.

For what it's worth, I prefer to use the NLS player playing at 3

one track at a time. In some cases, I use an equalization plug

Hey Rusty
Ok that sounds good but a couple of questions. why 22.5 instead of 44 and
can record regular cassetes with high-speed dubbing on, then take the
chipmunk mp3 and slow it down? Is that possible?
Is there any thing else I should know before tackling this insane project.
I have to get rid
I disagree with this if you go beyond doubling speed. I hear much more bass
than should really be there.

I agree. Cassette to Cd is quite Viable. I've transferred many of my own and
for customers with good results. If the cassette is in good shape, there's
no reason why it can't be transferred to a good CD. I would especially
recommend such a transfer if the cassette is one that you like to listen
Hi,
Yes, this is exactly what one can do with sound forge and
probably any decent sound editor. You record the 1 and 7 eighth
casette at 3 and a half. You, of course, hear one side forward and
the other backward at twice the normal speed. then you work with
each track separately,
quick question. Why do you have to have a receiver? Can't you just plug your
deck into the pc? I'm looking into doing this myself and I'm scared of the
process.

Yes you can. I have recorded stuff from my mini disc recorder onto the hard
drive. I simply plugged the cable from the headphone socket on the mini
disc and the other end into the line socket on the PC.However, if you do
this and your source has a headphone volume control, make sure it isn't
Yes, you can plug the cassette deck directly into your computer. The reason
that I prefer a receiver is that it allows me to patch in multiple sources,
such as a turntable, another deck or even a tuner. I also like using a mixer
as it lets me tweek the audio and to some degree the volume,
Excessive volume from your recording source can also fry your sound card.
But if you start with the volume turned low and adjust it upward in small
increments, you should be ok.

Any time you can eliminate extra amplifiers in the path the better off you will
be. the less devices that generate noise such as hiss or hum, the better the
recordings will be.

Hello list members,
I don't know very much about this device yet, but there is a cassette tape
deck that goes right in to the case of your PC or MACK.
It allows you to record your cassettes right to your hard drive.
And if you want to, you can burn the files to CD right from the cassette
deck.

Another question. If any of you use 4 track tapes is it possible to put
these in the stereo and later reverse tracks on the right side of the stereo
field and make all tracks mono
Also is it possible to record at a high speed and slow down the recording
for the mp3?
thanks

That would be a good thing to check when setting up any recording system,
yes. I've never run into the problem with any of my setups,, but I can see
how it could very easily be a factor.
In this case, my understanding of Gail's original question is that she is
transferring cassettes only. In
Easy! I have a dual cassette machine so record for about 3 hours in stereo,
and can do it in both GW and SF.

I would add that it's no good trying to transfer commercial tapes if you can
buy their cd equivalents. If not, or they are personal tapes, then go ahead
and have fun.

Just buy an external deck. The software you will be using won't change, the
quality will be no worse, and the price will be lower.

As to the high speed question, I can answer that one. I am doing now. It
works good, and am having no trouble with it. I do have to add in some high
frequencies after recording at higher speeds, but it is worth it in the end.

Hi Gail. The best way I have found is to use a programme called Gold Wave.
It is relatively easy to use and works well with JAWS. I have used it for a
similar purpose as you have in mind. You can download the trial version and
if you like it you can purchase a licence which is around $50
does anyone know if this works with Hal?
I apologise if this is on the wrong list but I have just purchased Pamela
recorder for skype, but I cannot seem to find it on my computer and I think
it should be there.
