That's the way I see it. When 10at10's over, bop over to whichever 'thread' is relevant (if you're listening to something on CG, post in the CG Thread, if you're listening to The Drive, post in that thread. If it's "misc", post in the 'Streams' thread, etc)

when Garry Trudeau put Gladys & the Pips in a Doonesbury strip? Singing "Midnight Train to Cranston"? Mostly focused on the Pips--it was hilarious--I'll have to see if I can find it on the web.

yeah, i thought it was cat at first, too.

then there's the gladys-less pip skit from 'the richard pryor show.' they pips sing backup, and the camera focuses on a mic stand when gladys is supposed to be singing.

Not cassettes, at least not analog. I record the set on DAT, usually during the evening repeat, and then burn from the DAT onto CD.

As for recording analog cassettes to CD, either get a DAT recorder like the one I have, plug your cassette deck into it to burn your discs:

http://www.mediasupply.com/cdr830.html

Or to do it via your computer, follow the instructions on this page, and whenever it says "turntable" insert the words "cassette deck":

So, with the software, I can plug my stereo w/cassette deck into my computer and dump audio into files then burn to CD? Is it as easy as it sounds?


OK, so is "anonymous" Alicat or POC? Or an as-yet-unnamed lurker?

I can't say for certain as I've never done it, but it should be fairly simple. Like most things tech, there's probably a learning curve but nothing ventured.... Let us know how it goes, OK? Thanks.


I'd forgotten about this thread, but Rod just so happened to bring it back to mind with his above post on the same page.

It so happens that Sarah & I took the plunge and tried this process over the weekend to digitize some old air-checks she had from her college radio days that were on cheap cassettes that were starting to degrade.

And if you have a PC, it is as easy as it sounds. Follow the directions, install the software, plug your cassette deck into your computer and away you go. The first time took us a couple hours but a lot of that was playing with the software figuring out what did what. But the click removal and hiss removal worked as advertised, so we're quite happy. Will try it again later on some of the cassette-ified gems from the 10@10 archive.
