Hey, Mark.
I do a good bit of converting my old albums to cd. I got a free product
as a download from www.prosoniq.com. It's callee Artistbasic. It allows me
to record analog audio through my sound card into a digital format. I
usually make them AIFF files. It has some neat features like plug-ins for
reverb, slowing down or speeding up the recording without changing pitch, or
changing pitch without changing speed, and a bunch more. I then import the
AIFF file into Spin Doctor to clean up the noise and pops, and maybe add a
little expansion.
Artistbasic is freeware. Might be worth a try to see if it solves your
problem.
Good luck with BTO. Right now, Blues Brothers is getting digitized here.
