Default Sample Rate Conversion

For whatever reason, I have some spoken word cassettes that were
recorded at 15/16 IPS that I want to transfer to digital. What's the
best way to digitally correct the tempo and pitch? Using Audition, I
recorded a segment at 88.2 and converted the playback sample rate to
44.1. Tempo and pitch are correct. Is that procedure the best way? Doing
them in software, at least using Audition, is not the way to go.


I think doing the conversion in software *is* the way to go, not by futzing with sample rates, but by using Audition's resampling speed-conversion function, which avoids the EQ hassles. It's not perfect, but it's damned good, and I think that's what you should do.
