Doesn't do him any good unless he has a working cassette deck that he can adjust the azimuth on.

I prefer someone who can fix levels, balance issues, etc.
boost treble, fix bass, etc.

Re: Looking for someone to convert audio tapes!!!!!

Assuming you have a cassette deck to transfer them, you CAN do all of that yourself with Audacity. It isn't the best audio editing program...but it is free, so that makes it very popular.

Yeah, and how do you think we became experienced? It's not critical. Transfer the tape, and try various things. Not like you'll lose your original WAV file and not be able to start over if you don't like the initial results.

Rather than ask others to name bands you don't have, why don't you tell us which bands you DO have?

I tried to tease this out of you in PM, but nothing.

Re: Looking for someone to convert audio tapes!!!!!

In case the last post wasn't clear, there's little point in anyone announcing they are willing to transfer Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Queen if you have nothing by those bands.

Surely it's more efficient for you to tell us what bands you do have?

Re: Looking for someone to convert audio tapes!!!!!

So, is that it? You still won't tell anyone which bands or shows you have?
