I just got an Imac FP and would like to convert some recordings made with a hand-held microcassette recorder into the Mac. I interview family members using the recorder as part of genealogy research. My ultimate goal is to burn to a CD and send back to the family.
Is this possible? -------------------- dodger

Agreed with the previous post. PT free will be the easiest and cheapest (free in fact) way to do this. All you'll need is an audio input on your Mac (is there one on your model?). If so, you'll just have to run a mini-jack cable from your hand-held microcassete recorder to your Mac's in, capture the whole thing in PT free, clean it (silence, levels->volume automation and even a little equing if you wish->PT Free comes with part of the DigiRack which includes an EQ plug), and then bounce it to disc ('Bounce to disk' feature in the File menu).
One advice->since you intend to put the whole thing on CD, forget about 48KHz-24 bit sessions, all you need is a 44.1KHz-16 bit session, since that's the only format CD handles. If you're interested, go there to download PT Free (and maybe the manual too...) : www.digidesign.com Hope that helps. Greetings from Paris. -------------------- |
