If the recording didn't employ NR, playing it with NR may result in muffled sound. If the recording was made using the NR setting, then arguably it should be played with it on, as well. Whether to enable Dolby NR is a trickier problem to figure out. Most music tapes are going to use the Type II/IV setting. Typically you'll find settings for tape type (I, II/IV) and settings for Dolby Noise Reduction (NR). If you're recording in mono, check your recording input preferences and make sure the number of channels is set to two, not one.Īlso, if the recording sounds oddly muffled or bright, check your tape-specific settings on the tape deck. Also, make sure you're looking at a stereo recording (two waveforms). We'll give it a little boost at the end, but you don't want it to be too quiet or so loud that the waveform jumps out of the window and distorts the sound. Make sure the recorded volume sounds (and looks) OK. Hit the Stop button in Audacity once you're done and then play the recording back over some connected headphones to check the quality. Before committing to recording a whole side, hit play on your tape deck and record 30 seconds of audio into Audacity using the application's Record button.
