| 309790 | 2005-01-02 07:36:00 | Hi Folks. I'm gradually loading old tape and LP tracks on to my system before making some new(ish) CD's. Any wizards out there who have any preferences for programmes that will remove unnecessary noises, etc? Any help will be appreciated. No rush - this is a long term project. :cool: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 309791 | 2005-01-02 08:33:00 | I don't have the answers, but rather some questions. How are you recording your old tapes/LP's. What equipment/programmes are you using and how have you connected it all to your PC? I wish to attempt a similar task. :) |

| 309792 | 2005-01-02 19:31:00 | gidday, I have been using one called depopper for a while now, and have found it gives pretty good results. depending on how bad the noise is on the tapes and lp's, you may have to fiddle with default settings, but overall the default settings work fine. After running your music through this, you may have to run them through an editor, just to brighten the music a wee bit. Its a 30 day trial, and can be got at www.download.com good luck, Robby |

| 309793 | 2005-01-02 19:42:00 | Scouse, I would like to know as well, & I guess others would also. Could you please describe your method, step by step. Are you on XP ? As to a clean up programme I did find one on Google,freeware, & downloaded it, cannot find it now. Try typing in LP Records to CD+Cleanup or somesuch. Please keep this thread going, PJ :D |

| 309794 | 2005-01-02 20:28:00 | Hi Folks. Thanks Robby for that. I was not aware of depopper. Zippitty and Poppa John - you might care to check out this basic intro. (www.dvworkshop.co.uk) This has a neat "Janet and John" approach which I appreciated. I have the "Audacity" programme mentioned which I purchased for less than the price of a good CD. It is neat and easy to use. I also have the MusicMatch programme. My original query was to check out if anyone local was using similar which I could try, just for comparison purposes. DSE has the few bits and pieces necessary, such as the jack to jack lead and the headphone-out jack adapter. Regards. |

| 309795 | 2005-01-03 03:42:00 | gidday, poppa John, there is quite a lot off information regardiing this subject, right here and if you would like to search the archives, I'm sure you would find some answers . Here are the basics for you, a stereo lead from your line out on your stereo, to line in your computer . software installed for editing, audacity, is just great, for recording audiograbber, or musicmatch, or media player . for cleaning depopper . you can expect to experiment to get the result you are happy with . good luck, Robby |

| 309796 | 2005-01-03 08:15:00 | Could I have a little more inf please. I have read Scouse's help site, I have audio programmes & cleanup programmes. So to the hard wire connecr. Stereo Output into Computer Input. Stero otput is going to be either the speaker connections at the rear OR the Headphones jack at the front. I am ok with the headphone jack I think.. BUT, which is the Computer Input. At rear of "TinBox" are three sockets, Pink for the Microhone, Green for the Speakers, Blue is empty is this the Input in question?? Thanks PJ |

Thanks PJ hello poppa john, if you decide to use the headphone jack on your stereo, before you start recording, pull your volume control on your stereo down to low, and move them up slowly. The volume control can be very sentitive, when using the headphone jack, and could damage your speakers, if left too high intially. There may be a slight loss in quality of sound also. good luck, Robby |

| 309799 | 2005-01-03 20:51:00 | Try Goldwave (My personal fav) from http://www.goldwave.com Otherwise look up CoolEdit 2000. Note: There may be a newer version, its been about two years since Ive used it. Both will do all you're after. Chill. |
