Acoustica has produced another terrific program to convert your LPs or Cassette Tapes to CDs.

I had not worked with the original version but this one is so complete, there just isn't anything it doesn't cover.

The installation is extremely simple, so even the complete novice will not have any problems.

The audio tutorial helps you get your equipment set up properly for recording. The program also provides visual aids as to the proper cord needed and the correct way to connect to the computer.

There is no possible way you can do anything incorrectly when following the instructions.

This program provides great detail to produce the best possible sound from your equipment.

You can pause the recording process, which will let you change the cassette and that way you can have a variety of music on the same CD.

The program reduces tape noise. You can pause the tape you are recording and you cannot detect any noise when you restart. This lets you interchange multiple tapes to give you a variety of music. When you do a A Preview and Edit your Recording,@ you choose A Tape noise be gone@ and select an effect preset and it is directly applied.

You have the option of burning an Audio CD and Create Audio files or just simply burn an Audio CD. The program also includes the Acoustica CD/DVD Label Maker, which will forward all the track information for you, producing a very professional-looking label for your CD.

The program offers so many functions that can improve the quality of the recording.

I have never before worked with a program that provides such excellent results with so little knowledge or effort on my part.

I strongly recommend this program for those who are interested in music and have all those old cassette tapes and LPs they want to convert to CDs. It has been rated on Tucows and also by Smart Computing.
