[QUOTE="chinatownswhite, post: 922558, member: 9364"] Just wondering what people are using to rip their tapes etc I use Adobe Audition 3 which I got for free with the key code from the adobe site when they gave it out for free yrs ago by mistake really, I also use Audacity. I know Audition 3 is very old software but it seems to do the job, it takes a while to set up at first and a little while to suss out all the features, but I often wonder what the new version is like (is anyone using it?) the new one is so expensive, hence I've never tried it just incase I like it ... Obviously Audacity is a free proggy and its quite easy to use once you get used to it, but I have always found it a bit slow & clunky compared to Audition 3. I like how easy the noise reduction is to use in Audacity compared to Audition, but to be honest its very rare these days that I use the hiss reduction or noise reduction in either proggy. When I first started ripping tapes I used to spend hrs trying to get the sets really clean, has people were always asking for hiss free, but it can turn into a biy of a merry go round, and imo it can really ruin the sound, these days I like to keep the recording has true has possible, the only time I do use hiss or noise reduction is if the tape is really bad.. Obviously the sound quality can have many factors, EG you set up, the age of the tape, tape heads being clean and so on, I always make sure my mouse is unplugged, my internet is turned off, and make sure my power cables are not touching, all of which can create noise on the recording. Years ago I used to use Soundforge which was given to me by a mate, I found it to be very glitchy and it would crash for no apparent reason or it would have big sound drop outs throughout the set, at first I thought it was my pc that I was using at the time, so I checked it on a couple of other pcs with higher specs and it was exactly the same, thats were I ended up trying Adobe, which at the time needed a higher spec Soundforge, tbh the once I had set up Adobe it ran perfect so soundforge went in the bin, I have no idea what Soundforge is like these days... I often wonder which is the better one now because my copy of Audition is so old they dont do any updates for it other than bringing out new software. Anyway it would be good to hear what other people are using (y) [/QUOTE]
