A Dolby B cassette gives you less than 60dB. Though be aware that, with a cassette source, it's probably overkill. You can use 24-bits for recording and processing if you want. So, if you do record at a higher sample rate, the first thing you should do is resample to 44.1kHz. There is no benefit to processing at a higher sample rate than the destination. Whether you (or I, or anyone else!) can hear a difference, I don't know. Cool Edit, SSRC, foobar2k) will do a better job than the actual sampling in your sound card. You might be able to get a "better" 44.1kHz version by recording at 96kHz or 48kHz, and then downsampling to 44.1kHz - because a good resampling algorithm (e.g.

If some of it might find its way onto audio CD, use 44.1kHz. If you are sure you will never want to burn this stuff to audio CD, then use 48kHz. The cost in processing time and disc space (if you keep it at 96kHz) shouldn't be under estimated.

You could sample at 96kHz, but the benefit would be almost nothing. You have a lot of options, and most of them will sound just fine, whichever you choose! (Yes, I am grumpy that it's gone - that was a good board!) Supposedly I'm registered, but I can't make it work. Apparently the Adobe board does, but it's a bit mangled. It doesn't contain the previous 5(?) years of useful posts from the old synt community. Heh-heh, there still there, you just gotta know where they're hiding! Quote There are many excellent discussions at the syntrillium cool edit forums on this topic. And what sample rate/bits should I convert to before compression in Monkeys. In short given this setup, what sample rate/bits should I record the audio in. What is doing the downsampling? Polderbits or the Audigy drivers.

Which makes me wonder whether I should be recording through polderbits at 44.1/16. I assume this means that whatever comes into the line-in gets sampled at 96khz/24bit. In the specs it quotes:Ģ4-bit Analog-to-Digital conversion of analog inputs at 96khz sample rate The soundblaster audigy 2 confuses me a little. And I have confirmed this using a frequency analysis in cool edit. I feel the reply's have made me believe that 32khz probably isn't the way to go as tapes and good playback equipment can go over 16khz much easier than I originally thought. And cool edit for any editing of the resulting wav. To record the input to wav I'm using Polderbits 2 software. I'm using a Yamaha K-300 (it was good for it's time!) cassette deck, with the output running into the line-in of a Soundblaster Audigy 2.

I have basically loads of original cassette tapes which I would now like to encode losslessly (monkey's audio) on my PC.
#POLDERBITS REPLACEMENT SOFTWARE#
What's even more annoying is when a new business takes ownership of the software and they won't recognize that you have previously purchased the software, even if you provide them with proof of purchase.Ok to clarify a little, since I was a bit vague I think.
#POLDERBITS REPLACEMENT INSTALL#
You use those installs over a period of a few years then try to contact the company in order to install on your latest PC and the business no longer exists. I'm surprised the owners didn't sell the rights to the software to another business.Īlso, this is another example of having limited installations available per purchased key code. I know there's other software available that can also perform that task but PolderbitS is by far the best in my experience. The software is great for accurately splitting large audio files (albums) into their separate tracks. I have used PolderbitS Sound Recorder and Editor in the distant past and was considering purchasing the most recent version. Definitely appears the business has terminated. As at Feb 28, '16 no sign of PolderbitS official website.
