Hello
Over the last year I have been successfully transferring analog cassette tape to digital for my non profit organization. What I do is connect a Sherwood cassette play/ record deck to a Sony digital recorder. I record the tape on the Sony device. Then after coping the audio to the computer's audio folder I begin to clean up the artifacts using Adobe Audition CS6.
Most of the tapes are decades old. Sometimes I need to remove the tape from a compromised cassette case to a new case to reclaim the vocals.
This tape I present is a 1971 recording. This is the only tape of a popular guest speaker - and I do not know what to do. If I can salvage her lecture it would be a great Christmas gift to my organization.
The audio presented is from the Sony digital recorder. Please inspect this audio track. I would be grateful to know what I can do to salvage this audio.
I am wondering if I should remove the tape from its old case. Put the tape into a new case - and then connect the Sherwood deck to the computer - interface directly with Audition and make a recording. I don't know. I have gotten to used to using deck to digital recorder with great results.
Let me know if I can salvage this tape - what steps I can apply to fix the audio - the steps I would need to do to reclaim Envy's vocals.
Thanks!
