You mean apart from this effect shipped as standard in Audacity: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/ba ... reble.html
As mentioned by Steve in his initial response in this thread ...

And for finer control try this: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/equalization.html

I have an old cassette deck sitting on a table (they're difficult to find now) and I'm not sure what grade of audio it turns out but with the help of the bass/treble sliders the tapes sound good enough for my non-aficionado listening capability.

I'm ever so grateful to the Audacity developers for creating and continuing to improve this remarkable program matched only by their generosity in sharing it for free. I wish there was some way I could share my appreciation with them besides this post.

If you like, I can forward your comments to our Team (developers and support helpers).

Donations are one way of showing your appreciation - only if you can and want to, of course.

Hi Gale,

I wish I was in a place financially to donate and I will try my best to one day do so when I'm better situated.

Please do share my comments as they are heartfelt and full of true appreciation.

I was sharing with a friend today how many times users are confronted with a new version and the good and easy-to-use features are dropped so the new version looks completely different and the helpful features are gone.

I was very concerned about downloading 2.1.1 as my older version worked well but I thought now "those freakin' developers" are going to screw it all up and make me have to learn all its functions all over again - like a very well-known software company who's notorious for doing that.

Instead I was pleasantly surprised not only did everything look identical to my older version but the added features worked so easily for even Forest Gump like me.

Now, Audacity is my standard. When users and others chat about software development I ask - "Why cant you develop new versions like "those freakin' developers" over at Audacity? As Chris Berman with ESPN would exhort - C'mon, man!"

Merci - Grazi - Danca - Mucho gracias.

Another good tip is to rewind the tape all the way to the end and then back again before making the playback for recording as this re-tensions the tape.

I think I'll add that to the Wiki article I pointed you at.

Did you mean "retensions" - makes taut again

this is a great tip & prevents auto shutdowns on the tape player when recording..You could also use an old tape player to rewind them on mass saving wear & tear on your main player--mickthefish.
