ACL 16/mp3 deluxe 16/ Rescue Vinyl and Tapes?

BobVaughan wrote on 8/20/2010, 11:49 AM

Switching to new PC, Windows 7 / 64 bit. Old PC ran ACL 3.0!

 

I want to continue to use Line In input from Boss DR5, or a tape deck, to produce files for a Sony Walkman, preferably mp3, or wma at worst.

 

Maybe also burn some to audio CD. Unlikely these days to need the vinyl or tape to CD feature.

 

So, which programme? Magix Rescue Vinyl and Tapes, ACL 16, orMP3 deluxe 16?

I like the ACL program better, if all you are wanting to do is record, then that is the program. Just make sure that New PC has a sound card.

 

I am having some difficulties with my Windows 7 Machine and its sound device, my line in recordings are delayed. That might not be a issue for you, since you are recording everything down at once and then just burning so...

 

I still recommend the Audio Cleaning Lab

I do not believe it does anymore... before the limitation was because the encoder costs MAGIX a lot of money and not everyone was wanting MP3 or at least not buying the Audio Cleaning Lab for MP3

 

You have to understand that MP3 actually is a very low quality format whereas the Audio Cleaning Lab was a restoration software. So restoring audio to then put into a low quality format was counter intuitive, or so it was thought at the time. I remember talking to a few support members as well as other users about this. I have had Audio Cleaning Lab since it came out. The 3.0 version you have was the first to have MP3.

 

Still, for audio recording, and for cleaning/restoring/enhancing I do not think there is a more superior software available, not for that price. The fact that it comes from their professional line of Samplitude/Sequoia means it has unbelievable power for a $50 dollar software.
