Q. Audio cassette to CD conversion?

[dsp4us]

Can anybody suggest the easiest way to do subj?

 

[Basil]

it's pretty simple.

you need

hardware:

1- cassette player
2- cable
3 - computer w/audio board

software:

1- some program that allow you to capture the sound and save it as .WAV file. A nice package is Cooledit or Sound Forge and both may be finded ACAF (as cheap as free) in the web. They are professional packages. Both allow plugins to filter noise (I use cooledit and it has a pluging to filter hiss audio cassete noise)
2- a program to burn the CD. You have choices here. You can burn MP3 compressed audio or the .WAVs into CDA format to be played in any CD player. The audio format has to the standard (44KHz and...???)

Tnx. What input do you use for sound card interfacing? Line-in or Mic?
Btw what is the difference between them?

 

[Basil]

you'd use LINE input. MIC is high sensitivity and may carry DC voltage for electret microphones. LINE IN is 600 Ohms and two orders less sensitive than MIC what is OK to be connected to the player's LINE OUT or even the earphone output in case your player doesn't have LINE OUT.

Use the program like Goldwave or similar to record the sound from your soundcard input.
https://www.goldwave.com/

When you have recorded it to your harddrive you can use different noise reduction functions in Goldwave to cancel out noise.
Then you split it into smaller files containing one track/song each.
Then you can record the files/songs at your CD-R with a your burner softwar, for example NERO Burning Rom.

Both Cooledit and Golwave have hiss reduction.
I have used both programs with good result.

Sound forge is also very nice. It is now owned by Sony. There is a website which hv lot of cd recording & processing softwares.

 

[vempus]

You can use the musicmatch Jukebox software for recording and also writing the same to cds as audio cd or mp3
Tryable versions are available
