Folks,

Whats the best program to back up an old audio cassette of voice recordings to WAV and ultimately CD.

I used a program in the past, Goldwave or something I think it was.
Anyone recommend s/w that's good for this job. Preferably freeware.

Proposed setup:
Output from a casette player to the line in of soundcard,
record what appears on line in -
save file as wave -
burn to CD.

Thanks

MtM

I aggree! Very handy program and its free. I set it up for a news monitoring company so they can record from tape or radio and send to customers. I think they transcribe stuff or something.

I just tried it, beware that you have to copy all plug-ins to the vst folder, it won't hunt them down for you.
