Cassette-to-CD, Cool Edit Tutorial?

[Just Allan]

Does anyone know of a (good) Cool Edit tutorial on the web for
converting tapes to CD?

I recorded a *.wav file of a cassette tonight. Assuming it would be
best to record using the highest sample rate, remove noise etc. then
convert back down to 44k, I did so - and it still sounds like the
chipmunks. (sigh). I have a lot of sealed music cassettes too - so
would like to get the best possible result.

Anyone?

Allan.

===============================================

My way of doing these things :
www.a-reny.com/iexplorer/restauration.html
under the subject audio cassettes.

Considering that the sound of cassettes is not super hi-fi,
just record directly at 44100 Hz 16 bits stereo.
And beware of clippings.

It's a painfully straight forward thing to do when the cassettes are in
pretty good shape.

Sounds like you did a "Adjust Sample Rate" when you should have done a
"Convert Sample Type"

BTW, the business of recording at the highest sample rate and converting to
44 KHz is a waste of time.

Ever hear of the KISS principle - keep it simple, stupid!

I want to toss in vinyl LPs as well, in case this makes a difference.
