Scratch and pop elimination on cassette tapes

I have several cassette tapes that have records recorded on them, 45's and 78's mostly. Needless to say, some of the recordings sound rather scratchy. Can the scratch and pop elimination features of SIA be used to clean up these tapes. Is SIA able to tell the difference between records and tapes whe...

try running the turntable(s) thru an amplifier or receiver. The soundcard on your laptop may not be able to "communicate" with the turntable. The turntable likely has a magnetic cartridge that has a very low output. Hope this helps....GREG

Brian.....Have you verified that your stereo equipment is working okay when not trying to record? I use a 40 year old receiver that likes to develop the occasional bad connection in the switching and it causes noise/weak/dead channel(s). It might eliminate frustration to check this first. Good luck....

Thanks, Don. We are on the same page, we each find a different way to say it. I am going to get the software and go from there. I am really looking forward to this being easier than Nero and Windows ME. With my old computer, all I could record at one time was one side of a record. I had to use CD's ...

OOPS!!! "Marded" should be "marked" and there is no "o" on the end of "digital". Sorry for those mistakes. I haven't drunk enough coffee this morning. The only concern I have is that my input to the computer is a line level input with no way to control the vol...

Don....thanks for your input. There is a 1/8 red connection on the back panel of my computer tower marded "digitalo audio". According to HP, this is a line-level audio output source that I can connect to my receiver. I need more clarification on your concerns about plugging my stereo compo...

Stereo to computer setup

I think my first question, "Is SIA compatible with Windows 7 64 bit" has been answered. (Yes, it is). There was a comment made on a post I was reading about someone destroying their receiver and other gear before "he got it right". I have no intention of destroying my stereo gear...

Newby question

I am considering purchasing Spin-it-again and was wondering if it included all I need to connect my stereo to my computer. I figure to use some kind of RCA to USB connector. Any help you could give to an old guy trying to get used to Windows 7 would be greatly appreciated. And the simpler I can keep...
