What software do I need?

[push316]

Hello,
I am trying to decide what's best for me. I want to record both cassettes and records from my stereo onto my hard drive and take those tracks and mix them onto cd. I'm on a $75 budget(courtesy of my better half) and I want to get the best bang for the buck. Will I need two separate softwares, one that will record & reduce hisses and pops and one to edit/mix my tracks, or is there one package that will do both? I know Easy CD Creator will do both, but it's above my budget. I don't know if Sound Forge or Cool Edit 2000 does the recording/hiss reducing. Any suggestions?

Try Goldwave at www.goldwave.com

particularly for hiss removal, record your file and save it....
hit effects/filter/noise reduction and under preset shapes, choose hiss removal....

In that price range, Gidge is the man.

I have a tendency to hyperlink my URLs (I like gadgets), so just to make sure you got my link on your other thread, here it is.

Thanks guys...I had not even heard of Goldwave before...visited their website and it looks pretty good...if you know of some problems I might encounter with it and its solution, would appreciate a heads up, or I may just repost when I cross that bridge.
