Re: [ARSCLIST] Anyone familiar with "Spin It Again" Software to convert Lps and Casettes?
Edirol has an inexpensive sound card (the EX-1) for $85 that is 96/24
compatible.

Steve,
For overall cleanup and burning CDs, the best package I've found is
the consumer "Audio Cleaning Lab" from Magix in Germany. It's about
$30-40 US. I am amazed at how much of the high-end stuff that is in
Samplitude and the Algorithmix plug-ins exists in ACL.
www.magix.com
It's available as a download version or a box version.
If you're going to do the transfer, get as good a cassette recorder
as you can, keep it clean, and hook it up to a reasonable sound card.
There are some under-$100 USB "sound cards" that might be acceptable,
certainly better than what comes on most PCs and especially better
than what is on some laptops.
Cheers,
Richard
