Golden Records
Audio Restoration Software
NCH Software produce a stack of audio and video software, but one of them is designed for transferring Cassette and LP to CD. Not only does it run on Microsoft Windows operating systems, but is available for Mac users too which is something I’ve been asked about quite a lot recently. It’s definately worth checking out.

This software works pretty well, and if you’re looking for recording software with audio restoration tools Golden Records will do the job. I think I would prefer Spin It Again (see review) as I prefer the interface and work flow and to some extent the audio restoration tools. Having said that it is a competent piece of software plus there is a MAC operating system version so that may be the deciding factor for you.
Golden Records – definitely worth a trial.
