I recently had to transfer a privately made LP to cassette - fun
getting the scratches out.


Editing cassette, rather you than me...

Audacity and a lot of patience will do that.


Much more fun to transfer to 1/4" and cut the clicks out with a razor
blade. Done it lots of times. ;-)


Aye, and after a dabble with Audacity the other week I think I'd be far
quicker with the razor blade. How can you find the correct point when you
cant hear "the sound scrubbing past the head"? Lots of tedious zooming on
the jerky waveform display I guess.

I did find another DAW (Reaper I think) that did give you "head
scrubbing" but couldn't work out how to set the in and out points
exactly, they kept jumping to a regular mark. Don't think I managed to
make an edit at all in Reaper.
