Hi all,
I have a question: I have several hundred Grateful Dead
"bootlegs"
that
I want to copy to CD before they turn to dust. I have tried
playing
them directly into my PC but they come out sounding terrible.
Hissy
and
with odd clicking sounds. I presume this is due to internal
noises
picked up on the audio inputs. So I am looking at the possibility
of
buying a component burner. I am leaning towards the Sony
RCD-W500C
because it apparently also has a 5 CD changer (my current changer
is 10
years old and dying). But at $300 it's a little pricey. So I was
hoping
maybe some folks could share whatever experiences they have. In
particular, is there an easy way to overcome the PC noise problem
I'm
having? My Dead tapes are mostly of very high quality and I don't
want
crummy copies of them. If there are other component
changer/burners
people can recommend, that would be great too. Any help or advice
would
be enormously appreciated.
Thanks
Dewey

What equipment ?
What cassette reader ?
What PC ... Mother Board ... Processor .... Memory ... Operating

On descent quality equipment, there are not many problems
Hi Allen and others,
I made my decision and as my 5 CD changer was fritzed and I needed a
new one, I bought the Sony RCD-W500C dual deck, 5 CD changer and CD
recorder. It works great and I have transfered several tapes to CD.
Now
I need to edit the tracks to make individual MP3s for each song and
whatever other editing I want to do. I know many people recommend
Cool
Edit but I was wondering if there are any other comparable programs.
I
have Nero Wave Editor and it seems very clunky. I also have something
called CD Wave Editor 1.62 and Exact Audio Copy. Really all I want to
do is break the tracks apart in such a way that they will still play
without gaps or pauses - as they would if they were separate tracks
on
a commercial CD. Is this possible? Any recommendations would be
greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!
Let me add that I've played around with Gold Wave too. It seems very
powerful. I cannot find cool edit - I keep getting cannot find server
errors for all the links I've tried. I like Gold Wave so far. I have a
general question for anyone who has done editing before - these
programs all seem to be able to edit either .wav or .mp3 files and I
wanted to know if there are advantages/disadvantages to either option.
Clearly mp3s are much smaller than wavs and that's an advantage - is
there a disadvantage to editing the mp3 instead of the wav?
Thanks again for all the help!
