I was very happy with this program. It’s easy to use and works well. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to move their old tapes and records to CD.

Acoustica’s Spin It Again 2.0 software looks very exciting to those folks who have hung onto their old records and tapes in hopes of re-recording them noise-free (or nearly so). Enter Spin It Again to rescue my records.., or so I thought. The most promising feature of this software is its “ability” to recognize and remove pops, clicks, and scratches from old records and dampen tape hiss and hum. Yes, it can do this, but it also suppresses all other information – like the music and singing – as well. The reality of this software, it’s non-discriminatory, suppressing both noise and music at the same time. The software does not recognize the signature of a pop or click (removing only that identified noise), instead Spin It Again dampens all information equally. Additionally, the tutorials are disjointed and difficult to follow. If you have prior software recording experience, then your training may fill-in Acoustica’s omissions. But if you’re just a “back-yard engineer” you may need to take the $200 week-end seminar to understand the $40 software. Bottom line… If you want to convert old records and tapes to digital and make your old stuff sound almost new.., Spin It Again will do the digital conversion all right, but it will not remove scratches, pops, noise etc., without removing some, or a lot, of the music as well. Acoustica may have corrected their shortcomings in version 2.1.., but not likely!

I bought this for my father Inlaw and he found it easy to use.

I just bought this product and it came as software with no cables or anything I would have thought you’d need to hook up an old fashioned sterio with a computer. Of course, it’s a gift and so I haven’t unwrapped it, but what do I need to buy to go with this software to make a complete package?

The software is pretty good. The resultant CD is not close to the quality of a real CD original. It is easy to use and will provide car qulity CDs.
