You can install both 1.2 and 1.3 on your machine at the same time. Just don't try to open both at once.

We're going with the WAV capture file sounds pretty much like the record and the quality turns to trash at the MP3 stage.

Or maybe not. Which computer and which Audacity?

One at a time..... Get good strong coffee. I can put you to sleep in no time flat. The sample posted (perfectly) has three problems. The obvious one is the hiss typical of the oxide layer of a tape that just isn't moving that fast. We can probably deal with that--or at least suppress it. Much more o...

<<<Seems to be version 1.2.6.>>> On a Windows XP PC? Cassette is hard. Most of the noise is "pink nose" hiss and that's really hard to get rid of. You can't send any of it on the forum, but can you post a little bit somewhere else and point to it? Pick a piece with a silent lead-in and the...

I wonder if I shouldn't try it again with a second pair.

I brought two home. A one muff and a two.
