Smart Computing Review Acoustica Spin It Again - Overall Score 4.8 out of 5

Excert from PC Users Group Reveiw:

Spin It Again is a dedicated vinyl and tape conversion software utility that revolutionises recording any cassette or LP (33, 45, or 78 rpm) to CD or MP3.

Its difference from the many other utilities for doing this is apparent immediately on installation. Simplicity and ease of use are its forte, yet it does not sacrifice much in providing that. In fact it undoubtedly encourages more users who do not want to be burdened by the undeniable complexities of other popular programs. The software is not limited to recording only from LP or cassette but will accept  Microphone, MIDI, Wave, Auxiliary or whatever you'd like. The source for each of these is selected in the Recording Level Adjustment Wizard.

In the process of recording it can remove a variety of noises and imperfections that creep into well used tape and vinyl media. Click, pops, tape hum, needle noise and much more can be removed by simply selecting from a preset menu.

Output files can be in the form of MP3, Ogg, Wave or Wma, suitable for either portable MP3 players or CD. And recordings can be automatically split into their original tracks.
In setting up the program after installation, there is a hookup wizard that plainly walks through the connection procedure with an excellent tutorial video. It is accompanied with a voice for those needing extra encouragement. Really, nobody should get it wrong.

The level wizard gives excellent results without clipping. Anyway, the recording is automatically normalized afterwards to adjust for this. 

The top waveform is the entire recording and the lower waveform is a zoomed view of portion of that. The zoom factor can be quite powerful and is useful in noise reduction and adjusting the start and end of each track.

The Analyze button will create new tracks based on altered values. Any erroneous tracks created, or extra silence at the beginning or end, can be edited by dragging the track markers. That almost unavoidable click of the needle meeting the vinyl for the first track can also be eliminated this way.

The software will automatically pause when it senses the end of the record so that the record can be flipped over for side two.

The Clearing & Effects Preset list is a gift to users. 

Memories of past experience with other software made me almost ecstatic to find out that all effects in Spin It Again are non-destructive effects applied in real-time to the entire recording, and do not change the original recording at all.  

Or alternatively you can burn your CD directly from here. No external CD burning application is necessary, as Spin it Again uses the Goldenhawk technology burning engine to burn CDs or Audio CDs.
Incompatibility with Goldenhawk is not a problem at all for Win98 users, because we can save the audio files for burning with any CD burning software that we have - from Nero to the freeware CDBurnerXP Pro.
 
In evaluating this program I have recorded from both classical and popular LPs, burned CDs that are superior to those made earlier on other software, made several MP3 files for my MP3 player, and re-edited original WAV files from my archive of past recordings.

In summary, it is a program that anyone should be able to use effectively straight out of the box. It is just so easy I regret it has taken me so long for me to find it.

Enjoy your computing.
