I have boxes of old cassette tapes. In spite of the 5000+ songs that I have from CDs, there are many songs on the tapes that I still don't have on my mp3. However, some of the tapes play verrrry sloowwllyy. Doris Day now sounds like a slow-singing man

I got a song saved into Sound Editor OK, but I don't see any place to change tempo/speed. Am I missing it or isn't there a way to do it with Roxio 9 Suite? If 9 doesn't have it, does 10? I'm still trying to decide if the upgrade is worth it to me. If I could get my tapes edited properly, I'd do the upgrade.

Thanks for any help~

Have you tried Pitch under Sound Effects? Don't know if it will speed it up, but might help Doris sound more ladylike

Thanks! I think that might work. I made Doris sound like she was singing underwater, so I think with a little playing around I can maybe get her to sound close to what she should be. Everything I had seen showed that pitch wouldn't change the speed, but I think that's if the Bypass box is checked (not sure, so don't hold me to that!...I'm still experimenting). I'll have to play around with all of the effects and see what I can do. Thanks for your quick response and help~Judy

Judy, Sound Editor is great and I recommend that you try using that first. If you have the right Version of EMC 9 then Sound Soap was part of it. If you get close with Sound Editor, you can probably clean it up more with Sound Soap. It would be under Bias in your programs list.

If those fail, download the trial version of "GoldWave". It will do what you need with those 50 's goodies. Play with it and try doppler and/or pitch/keep length.

OK, thanks~ I'm getting ready to play around now so I'll see how it all works. Previously, I was busy trying to get DVDs made and now it's a whole new ballgame with getting old music saved. My brain is too old for this

I have Roxio Easy Media Creator Suite 9 and I don't see Bias listed. SoundSoap comes with Creator 2009 Ultimate, right? I don't know if it does that much more than Sound Editor. I'll work with what I have and see what happens. Thanks for your suggestions~

SoundSoap came with 9, but is listed separately (not with Roxio EMC) Try going to Start > All Programs > BIAS > SoundSoap.
