I think the first thing I'd do is just record each side as a WAV, without trying to chop it up into tracks. Then go back after the fact and chop it up.


Total Recorder converts to MP3 on the fly, and at the same time creates an editable sound image of the MP3 file. So I can just start the cassette, come back 90 minutes later, stop the recording, and then edit out the auto-reverse pauses before I save the file.

I have found the automatic pause reduction and automatic track splitting features to be (so far) unusable as the silence-sensing algorithm is not sophisticated enough to differentiate between random noise spikes generated by the auto-reverse process, and actual audio. Ironically, those spikes are apparently at a frequency that either my ears or my equipment can't detect, because I can't hear them but I can definitely see them in the sound image file and whatever Total Recorder can "see" it records.

The specialized software that Bitt refers two a couple of posts down the list appears to be much like a stripped down version of Total Recorder. Almost certainly easier to use, but since I already own Total Recorder and it can (theoretically) do everything that the specialized software can do, I'll stick with what I've got.

Thanks, Bitt, for that link though.
