Bleed through and " muffled " sound are really two different
phenomena. Bleed thru may actually be print thru of audio from the
adjacent layer of tape or it can be a result of mis-alignment of the
playback machine particularly on 1/4 track tape formats where the
adjacent track is audio recorded in the opposite direction. Muffled
sound in the sense that there is substantial high frequency loss is
usually attributable to worn tape heads or tape heads the are out of
true azimuth adjustment or simply out of azimuth agreement with the
tape machine that the tapes were recorded on. In either case the
issues are mechanical and need to be addressed on the tape machine
and are unrelated to your sound card or anything to do with your
computer audio chain.
All of this is entirely separate from the problems of baking tapes to
render them playable again. ;-)

Subject: Audio question i.e. Converting reel-to-reel CD, separating
muffled tracks
I am going to be converting some old reel-to-reel to CD and, some of
them have 'bled' through so, the tracks sound garbled. While the
ones' that don't have this problem will be easy to do, will I
essentially have the same problem, as if I made a copy of a cassette
tape to another cassette tape.
I have Creative Lab's SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS soundcard.
