I desperately need to copy from tape cassette to a CD. Can anyone

I got one of those machines you can buy from Amazon which converts tapes. Wouldn't advise it, quality not the best!

If you have a computer with a CD Burner:

Thanks swarfender 43, this interested me as well.

No mention on what to do if the tape has been recorded with Dolby noise reduction or not.

Try it with it on and off see which sounds best.

What I was really trying to say is the USB tape players/recorders you can get now dont normally come with Dolby. A tape recorded in Dolby and played back without Dolby will have its high frequencies boosted a lot and sound tinny. The only way to compensate is to use software that can also do filtering. For music transfer its not just as simple as playing the tape and recording it.

Thanks for that swarfendor43.

It may be useful for some. I have some software already that has a mastering suite in it so I use that to restore vinyl and tape.

and it gets more complicated if its recorded from different machines with speed, zenith and azimuth variations that need correcting.

They have a machine in the Archives on Shoreham Street Esther, i expect there will be a charge though.

The local archives might be able to help with this, if they can't then the British Library most definitely can.

Same thoughts, same timing!
