Guest Anonymous Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I hope someone can help me with this. As I wrote in a previous message, I just got my first MDR (Sharp MD-DR480H) for Christmas and used it, for the first time, to tape a half-dozen a cappella concerts last week. I would like to find a computer program to help me equalize the "hollowness" and "hiss" of the lower recording level (which, of the 6 shows, is the best copy I got...others have distortion of too-high recording levels, or quick skips from going between recording levels 20-21). I've looked at websites for Audacity, Cool Edit Pro, Goldwave, Wave Corrector and Rosoft but I'm not sure which ones will be compatible with my computer, which is a Pentium II 400 (circa 1998 ). My husband has a Pentium II 550, which is only slightly better. Since neither of us are planning to buy a new computer until 2006 (we have a once-in-a-lifetime vacation to Japan coming up next year and all of our savings are going towards that), can anyone suggest a less-than-$100 audio editing program that will work with either or both of our dinosaur computers? Thanks! GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expander2000 Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 From what I understand, Audacity is FREE and GNU/GPL. It is available for Windoze but was initially conceived for Linux. It does have a hiss removal. The best software you could get is without a doubt: SoundForge. However this one is like 600$US. Your only option is to get a crack for that one. Don't know much about the others, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
