Hello List,

 

We do a fairly large amount of recording and audio streaming.

We have a small studio that is pretty much sound proof.  We have a
couple of microphones in the booth that connect to a mixing console with
a reel to reel tape and a cassette recorder.  We have been digitizing
the cassettes using a tape player connected to a PC.

 

Recently we tried using a hand held digital voice recorder and that
worked well for the people we recorded.  It didn't work well from my
point of view in that I had to make numerous adjustments to the volume
as well as remove some echo from the wma files.  

 

I would like to be able to adjust the sound inputs before/during
recording and then take the digital file and edit it on the computer;
avoiding the tedious process of digitizing the cassette tape all
together.

 

Does anyone know much about or have an opinion on:

1.	ADS Red Rover - Remote Control and
2.	Adobe Audition
3.	Syntrillium Cool Edit Pro 2.0
4.	Cakewalk SONAR Studio
5.	Producer Edition 4.0.2

 

 

 

Thank you,

 

John
