First point is that if you have used the microphone input on your laptop, it will probably be recording in mono - unless you are using a MAC, get a USB interface with a stereo input:

A step-by-step guide for cassette to CD conversion is available at:

The recording software is the key, there are some free software downloads available at:

I have used 鈥楳agix Audio Cleaning Lab鈥?and 鈥楢udacity鈥?鈥?Audacity is particularly popular since it is free!


If you record to WAV format, expect file sizes of around 10MB per minute, or 1MB per minute for MP3 (at 128kbps).


Once you have your digital versions of the recording on your PC, simply burn them on to a CD (Nero burning software or similar..). If you use Magix Audio Cleaning, the software will burn an audio CD for you without needing additional software (assuming you have a CD writing drive of course!)


You will need the additional 'lame_enc.dll' file to export into MP3 - this can also be downloaded from the free software page.


You can also download a free PDF version of the step-by鈥搒tep guide from the download page mentioned above, the guide is complete with diagrams and screen-shots.


Hope this helps (if you like the online guide, don't forget to 'DIGG' it....)


You can use some of the audio cleaning techniques in the software to identify the frequencies of the interference and equalise them.Hi i have cassette tapes that i want to digital record on my lap top is there a way i make it sound clearer?
Audacity.
You will need to download an audio editor and use that to clean it up. A good one is Audacity. It can be downloaded here http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

  1. As claimed by Stanford Medical, It's in fact the SINGLE reason women in this country get to live 10 years more and weigh an average of 42 lbs less than we do.

    (And by the way, it really has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret-exercise and EVERYTHING about "HOW" they are eating.)

    BTW, I said "HOW", not "what"...
