Hi damann,
I'm trying to keep costs down, so max out at about US$100, is it possible? On the sw side I have FCP3 which came with Peak Lite or something. Would this be suitable?
Cheers
Mac

hi watashimac, sorry for the delayed response, i've been really busy.  i think you should look at the edirol ua-1, it seems ideal for what you're looking for.  you've probably bought one by now! peak is excellent, spark, soundstudio, audacity, cacophony etc, also.

Don't cough during the transfer with your imic! And listen out for them brand new combine harvesters going past the window...  Wouldn't it be an idea (I'm echoing Damann's advice here) to buy an inexpensive USB A/D convertor...?? i-what? Aren't we talking something with analog RCA/Phono inputs here? I just looked at the Edirol UA1A. It looks like just the thing! http://www.edirol.com/products/info/ua1a.htmlI would definitely use a line input instead of a mic in order to preserve as much of the cassette's original quality. Then strip out the hiss as outlined in previous posts.

Teiwaz - The iMic is an inexpensive ($35) analog stereo to USB interface. It is designed to add back the 'mic' port that Apple quit putting on newer Macs (which weren't mic level inputs, but line level stereo inputs). It will work fine for transferring audio from old cassettes. I guess the name fooled you into thinking he was going to put a mic in front of the speakers of his boom-box, or something like that, eh?

Oops I f**ked up! That's exactly what I thought it was!! My sincere apologies, Presto...  Still, the Edirol products look cool...no? Incidentally, I've heard that the imic doesn't have very stable drivers...and can be a bit problematic. This is 2nd hand news, i have no 1st hand experience personally...

the best thing to use in my opinion is waves master (for mac) and for pc/mac use(waves native restoration)...native restorationm take away all pops, hisses, and crackles.. read some reviews on it ..you'll see what i mean. but you are still gonna need an a/d converter...get yourself an mbox(pro tools) the a/d converter on there is the best for @ that price range good luck
