What software do you use? I use Audacity. I'm mostly just curious and always interested in options. What kind of tape player do you use? If it's an auto-reverse, the head might be out of align. Just a thought. I found I get a better transfer when I use a regular tape player.

I have some vinyl LPs I want to digitize because these never went to any other medium. My problem with some of them is that they are 60s vinyl and that means a heavier disc and my player is actually slowing down the spin because of the weight. Not much but just enough that I can tell the difference. My sister said it sounds fine to her but this is the same sister that was forced to sit face-to-face with me so what does she know? I'm kidding, she loves me bunches now, probably out of guilt, but I'll accept it. I don't want to go out and spend a lot of money on a player with a weighted table but I do want to get these tracks digitized. *cries*

Audacity I think has the ability to speed up the tempo of a waveform....that should work....Audacity...at least the portable version I have that runs directly form my pendrive has 2 different tools in the "Effects" menu regarding this...."change speed" and "change tempo"....the difference is that "change speed" changes the speed of the audio waveform by resampling and it will change the pitch too..."change tempo" increases the speed (tempo) of the waveform without changing the pitch...however both functions will change the length of the waveform.....so if your record player has a headphone port you can use what I used to record a cassette from my walkman into Audacity (stated in previous post) and record the LP record into audacity and work with the waveform from there....unless this record player is so old it doesn't have a headphone port....

edit: I gotta get to work....ttyl

mad_gater is the demagnetizer a cassette tape like thing or a gizmo you plug into an outlet? If it's the cassette, you put it in the player. If it's the gizmo, you put the tip on the head in the player and move it around the entire surface.

I'll look into that speed change in Audacity. My turntable is relatively new, has the red/white AUX out cables which I plug into an adapter and plug that into my laptop's line in port.

actually I'd remembered that my mom had both devices....cassette and gizmo....I used the cassette....much simpler...I figured it out.....I'm not totally dumb....

What? I just had hash brown potatoes for breakfest! Take that Lover! Does Sam know you're "involved" with her ex-fiance? I'd sleep with one eye open if I were you.

pfft...whatever. I hope that hash brown gives you indigestion!

And yes, Sam knows I am "involved" with potato face. She's glad...leaves her in peace with her husband

*throws mashed potato at Seahen*

If Pete is potato, what is Kerry?

Hi Jann! *huggles*

[starlover]

Hiya bekki *huggles back*

How are you?

[Bekki]

I am mighty good!

I was crewing on a children's musical show last week and there was a section on Dutch Sinterklass...it made me think of you!!!

Although I'm fairly sure you would have been rolling around laughing at the Saint Nicholas. I'm not sure it was all entirely accurate!

cute though!

How are you?

point your mouse at the line of green jello squares in one of your posts (don't click, just point) and it will tell you....actually I can tell you.....it says you serve as loyal advisor to the system lords....means you're higher than me.....*grumbles*.....

Oh hey! that's cool! I've never tried that before!

And personally I would say a threat to the system lords is better than a loyal advisor! Unless the advisor was really a Tok'ra spy

Apparently I'm "ready to take a human host"

Good! I was getting tired of that whole symbiote puberty thing! I mean, no one understands a teen snake anymore!

Edit: Well, I'm off to a work Christmas party now~ hooplah!
