5.0 out of 5 stars Great tools for getting your old vinyl and tapes onto PC, 5 Jan 2004

By	mr_ska (London, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

To be honest I didn't think this would be any good, after all, if getting good quality transfers from old records and tapes was easy then surely we would all know about it by now. But what a pleasant surprise to find that the Magix tools are very good at the job, and are nowhere near as complicated to use as I thought they might be.

When you first get started you are treated to a really easy guide to getting your record player/amplifier connected to your PC, and then it is all go!

The tools included allow you to record from your old vinyl and then by using the appropriate 'wizard' split up the recording into separate tracks. The 'wizards' also allow you to perform a variety of tasks to improve the sound quality. You can de-hiss and de-click, and also select a sample of background noise (e.g. from the beginning or end of the record) and have that noise removed from the whole track. You can also 'compress' the audio to get rid of any sudden loud bits, and there is also an equaliser to shape the sound.

After you have been using it for a while you can start fiddling with the settings, and it is possible to get better results than the automatic settings on the 'wizards'. However, the 'wizards' do a really good job anyway, so you don't need to be a sound engineer to get it to work!

I'm really pleased with the Audio Cleaning Lab and I think you will be too. It is great value and has all the features you need to get a really good copy of your old music onto your PC so you can turn it into mp3 or burn it to CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 28 Sep 2003

By	"eddie_weaving" - See all my reviews

I used to clean records but I was having problems with exporting files and I think that down to incompatabilites with Windows XP SP1 pack which was annoying, to say the least, cause I though the utility was very good.

However I decided to give this a spin *ahem* and I've copied alot of records and tapes already without any problems at all.

The manuals well written, and the utility itself has basic options that are easy to use aswell as the harder ones for more advanced users of the utility.

However I would recommend this program as its compatable with SP1 and the newer options added makes the music files sound better.

deffo a thumbs up from me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beware of the Standard Version!, 24 Mar 2004

By A Customer

I thought I'd save money by opting for the Standard version, rather than the Deluxe. However, I found this a false economy, since the Standard version does NOT come with the necessary audio cables to connect hi-fi and computer. Also, the Standard version will only allow you 20 mp3 recordings, after which you have to pay an additional �9.99 to upgrade to unlimited mp3 recording.
