Hi i have cassette tapes that i want to digital record on my lap top is there a way i make it sound clearer?

i have recorded a few and it is very fuzzy or lots of static how do i record it and have it sound clearerHi i have cassette tapes that i want to digital record on my lap top is there a way i make it sound clearer?
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:


http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/DIY/index.p鈥?/a>


(follow the link to 鈥楥assette to CD鈥?


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


http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/downloads.p鈥?/a>


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/

CIA lawyers cleared the destruction of torture tapes. Does that mean no law was violated?

The CIA lawyers can not eliminate wrong doing and unlawful behavior simply by clearing the act of tape destruction. This is not a banana republic, at least not yet, where the government can make a crime a lawful act through a unilateral decree by some government lawyer.





Senators and congressmen and Judges will determine what is a crime here. A prosecutor will seek, and gain an indictment.CIA lawyers cleared the destruction of torture tapes. Does that mean no law was violated?
No, quite the opposite. The tapes may have been evidence of a crime, but their destruction doesn't erase the potential crime. Worse, we know the tapes exhibited torture, and that they were destroyed; that's destruction of evidence.CIA lawyers cleared the destruction of torture tapes. Does that mean no law was violated?
There was a former CIA agent who came out saying that water boarding was allowed. I bet the Attorney General is just wishing right now that he had answered water boarding questions in front of the Senate Judicial committee.
No, it just means the CIA lawyers thought they could defend the destruction of the video tapes successfully if the tape's destruction ever came called into question.
It means that there was no cover up.
No. But what can we do to get this CIA agent who is leaking and ratting on our President Bush and VP Cheney?
harriet meyers, #43's legal adviser at the time, got wind of the intent to destroy the tapes, and recommended against it.
Its a go....executive privilege.no crimes ,no time ever for anything...F.P
No. It means no LEGAL statute was violated.
The CIA doesn't make laws in this country.
BWHAHAHAHA!!!





Do you REALLY want to argue that, just because a lawyer does something that ultimately makes it legal????





According to that logic, Clinton should never had been impeached and John Dean should never have done time.





Nope, that doesn't mean anything.
Who the eff cares? I mean really. People would blame them for the next attack and its the whiners who prevent them from extracting info using any and all means. These are terrorist suspects, I really dont believe we would hold non dangerous people or torture innocents.
No. It means bush's ';YES-men'; are trying to spin and cover for him.

  • Videotape player and tv worked fine last time. Now 3 diff. tapes show just bottom 2'; clear?

    First tape I wanted to watch needed rewinding. Rewinder had finished and machine was making tense noise when I got back. Tried to play it, got fuzzy pic. and sound. Rewound part of it in case maybe tension was wrong. No good result.


    Tried one other tape that was good last time, still a fuzzy image.


    I've wiggled the connector on back of v player, no good. There don't seem to be many/any buttons to change settings on backs of machines.


    TV is Sanyo, 10 yrs old. Vtape player is Magnavox, older than 10 yrs.


    Can't think of anything else but to ask for help, pls!!Videotape player and tv worked fine last time. Now 3 diff. tapes show just bottom 2'; clear?
    There should be a control marked ';Tracking'; either on the front of the VCR or on the remote control. Try adjusting that. If that doesn't do it, one of the video heads is probably clogged with debris and needs to be cleaned. If you haven't cleaned a VCR before, its probably best to take it to a service center and let them do a careful, thorough cleaning.

    Let's clear it up? Anyone have tapes of Rev. Wright from Obama's days?

    It would all be so simple then...........just get some tapes from the years Obama went to that congregation. Anyone know where to find them? How long did Obama sit under this man's teachings? What years were involved?





    Why hasn't someone thought of this before? Then we'd know for sure if Obama listened to hate-spewing messages.Let's clear it up? Anyone have tapes of Rev. Wright from Obama's days?
    Isn't it funny that you're more consumed with Wright than Obama's policies? Do not vote for the man because his economic, foreign, health care and other policies suck. It's funny that you are trying to use the action of someone else to base your decision on, rather than the actions of a man who has served his country (that according to you and your ilk, he hates) for twenty years. I guess you probably believe that there was nothing wrong with white Americans burning little girls in churches, shooting MLK, Malcolm X and Medgar Evers. I guess you feel it was OK to deny them the practise of vote when they already the right to do it. Oh, I'm sorry. I guess black men growing up in the time of Wright should have just ';known their place.'; You're a classic example of a waste of the right to vote.Let's clear it up? Anyone have tapes of Rev. Wright from Obama's days?
    Hello, Hello, Is anyone home? Obama said that he had been going to the man's Church for over 20 years. Now either he heard what he said or he was asleep during the services. Either way makes him look bad, he is either a lazy Christian or a lying hypocrite.
    I don't know but out of the fact all my kids are sound asleep right now and i have a spare 15 minutes, i found this on You Tube and i can't stop laughing at the ignorance, sorry, here's the link though for a laugh, i have never listened to this man, and i guess i never need to again!

    Thank ya. My husband is intrigued though so, i'm sure he'll be humored tonight, we hear alot on the news about this Rev. but pay no attention - you sparked my curiosity lol I must go repent my sin now.

    Will a Fixit Ticket be cleared if I replace brake light bulb but the taillight assembly is taped over cracks?

    Calif. I backed into a bush, cracked taillight assembly %26amp; made a hole in the plastic about the size of a silver dollar. $250 to replace assembly. Taped it instead w/ red %26amp; yellow taillight tape. Recent rain, brake light out, fixit ticket. In Calif I must bring the car to a police station to have an officer witness that the brake light is working. Will the officer approve it with cracked assembly taped over?Will a Fixit Ticket be cleared if I replace brake light bulb but the taillight assembly is taped over cracks?
    Here's a more permanent lens repair kit that uses plastic rather than tape and is approved by the Department of Transportation (DOT).

    Well as long as the hole is covered with the proper tape color,I would say it would be fine.As long as the light works and all visible holes are covered then you'll be fine.If you have any problems, call the police station and ask a officer.Good look.
    it should be ok with the police if it,s covered right and not just throw the tape on and the light is working.

    Having seen the Wright tapes it's very clear to me now...?

    ...why Michelle Obama made those anti-American comments in a speech she gave and I also understand why Barack refuses to wear the American flag lapel pin or place his hand over his heart during the national anthem. They've been listening to anti-American hate filled bigotry for 20 years. How could that not affect your perceptions of the world and white people and America?





    And now Barack is trying to run away from the man that had such a profound influence on his life?Having seen the Wright tapes it's very clear to me now...?
    I agree. Obama is the one who can be quoted as saying that Wright had a ';profound influence on his life';. His relationship to Wright is not that of priest and congregation. He let this guy name his book for pete's sake! He refers to him as his ';spiritual guide'; and ';mentor';, he even draws the comparison of family (old uncle to be specific)...only we don't chose our family barack. He has called him an inspiration and attributes his call to politics to him. The fact that he now claims to not have known about the vitriol that Wright spews like poison is ridiculous. the recording is seven years old, and is one of MANY other taped anti everything afrocentric sermons. If you want to lose in the fall, vote for obama...the gop will pigroast him with this. wrights remarks were like pouring a bucket of anthrax all over his message.Having seen the Wright tapes it's very clear to me now...?
    Profound influence? Really?





    I'm a Catholic, but I don't diddle kids like my priests have. You're really saying a lot more about yourself, when you argue that he must believe what his priest does,than you are about Obama.
    thank u about time some said it but watch out a obama supporter will say Ur question is a violation like they did 2 5 of my question i lost 40 points 2day because obama supporters said my questions was a violation look at my question and see
    pretty much.
    Yes, Obama is not good for Preisdent. Vote Clinton 08
    I came to the same realizations about conservatives after listening to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levine. Republican candidates who run for office always try to distance themselves from the conservative talk radio hosts too. It is alarming how indoctrinated a person listening to passionate rhetoric can become.
    I agree
    Wow...good grief.





    Do you agree with Reverend Falwell that homosexuality was responsible for 9/11?





    That type of rhetoric runs both ways.

    If I transfer a VHS tape to a DVD, would the picture come more clearer? or would it look like the VHS tape?

    DVD's are more clearer than VHS tapes, and I want to tranfser some of the stuff I recorded on VHS to DVD, Would the picture be more clear like how pictures look on DVD? - I hope so





    When u record stuff on VHS, they tend to look more blurry and not so clearIf I transfer a VHS tape to a DVD, would the picture come more clearer? or would it look like the VHS tape?
    The quality of the DVD will not be any better than the VHS. At least you won't have to worry about the tape breaking or just wearing out.If I transfer a VHS tape to a DVD, would the picture come more clearer? or would it look like the VHS tape?
    it will apear slightly more clear, but the picture quality will still remain the same
    Without manual interaction with a pro video editor you can not change the video quality from a source video. Its always ok to take a down step from a source video but its quite hard to go up from a poor one.
    Your quality won't be any better than your source. But transfering your video tape to DVD will prevent the image from getting any worse which is usually what happens with tapes over time.
