Converting Tapes or Records to CD
In the past few months, after evaluating what is involved in converting LP's that I have never found a CD for in any music store, it was suggested to search the internet to find if there is software or a procedure to simplify the process. Guess what, there is.
Although there are numerous ways to accomplish this task and it does require time, it can be done. Assuming your LP's are still in decent shape and do not have alot of scratches and they are not warped, there is a company that has software to do this.
The website has extensive help for setting up and using the software and it is easy to use. Basically, you need a cable that has 2 RCA plugs on one end and a mini plug on the other end. You connect the two RCA jacks to the line out or auxiliary outputs of your stereo receiver and the mini plug to the line input of your sound card. Then within the software you select the source for your recording (Line-In). The program includes both a sound recorder and sound editor. Prior to recording, it is advisable to clean the heads on your cassette deck or have something to clean the records before trying to record from them. There are many products available, that you can still find in some music stores or online.
But even cleaning them will not remove the scratches. And even though the software has various filters for removing pops, clicks, etc., your converted songs will only sound as good as the original. Since there are multiple companies that have either the software or other means to do the conversions, you should do a search on music conversion or tape conversion to find which approach seems the best for what you wish to do. You will be able to see the system requirements, a FAQ section, what other users say about the software and they may even a have trial version to download.
It is a time consuming process and don't be discouraged if after you convert a song or songs from one of your LP's or tapes that it does not sound very good. Try different combinations of using the various filters and equalization to see what works best. But if your records are not in very good condition, it might just be a waste of time.
Hope this helps and you find it useful. And enjoy your music.
