1188596 2011-03-23 00:34:00 Anything special needed for converting reel to reel audio to CD other than the tape deck and an audio input on a PC. Would the tape deck need to be up to pro spec if the audio is only speech (interviews) TIA Wayne WayneMiddy (14028)
1188597 2011-03-23 00:40:00 Nothing special, plug it into the line in and record to wav format. You may want to experiment with volume levels a bit.

If you want to get fancy audio editing software can remove tape hiss very well because it is a constant and predictable kind of noise. If you plan to do this then record a few seconds of silence from the tape as it's playing to get a sample of the hiss. In nero wav editor you sample the silent bit as a noise profile then use that to clean up the wav file. Just never save over your original files in case you muck it up.

Use something like Audacity for recording. ( free )
