Been Mucking About With Some Music Software...

And managed to work in a PH related sample.

Check out "The Limit" (No prizes for guessing who's doing the talking in the sample) for some completely rubbish, out of tune D&B.

Don't know if this is a daft quiestion but here goes anyway! Is there any software that allows you to plug a cassette player into the back of a PC and getaa tape into memory... then is there anysoftware that can get rid of the hiss and boost up the bass a biot and bring teh vocals to the front etc?

The reason I ask is that I have a tape of my band from when I was 20 (so nearly 25 years old) and I have always promised that one day I would get it saved into a CD for posterity! Rich...

Yep, its quite clever too!

You get a lead with a headphone jack at each end or RCA and headphone depending on the tape deck. Plug one into the tape deck and one into the line in on the soundcard.

Then you can either:

Record using windows sound recorder to take the input and record it to the HDD as a WAV and then convert this into an MP3.

or

Download a bit of software (I forget the name but can find out) that will remove all the hisses and crackles from the line in off the tape and then record that as a WAV and then compress it to an MP3.

Can be done

The quality of the PC version depends on loads of things, sound card quality, sampling rate, the software you use to get rid of the hisses

I've got an delta audiophile sound card, about the cheapest you can get for serious recording (£110) get some cheap sequencing software (£30) or download if you can, I've got Cubase but there are loads out there. Most come bundled with some sort of wave editing sofware (for getting rid of those hisses)
