[Dixielandjazz] Restoring 78s

[Phil O'Rourke]

I follow almost the same path with one major (I think) exception.
I record at 45 rpm to allow the needle to follow the grooves more closely. I then use speed/pitch correction in the program to bring the recording up to correct peed.

  There's been plenty of digital ink spilled on this subject here lately, but 
  I hope you'll allow me to weigh in.  While working on lots of pretty 
  wretched 78s for my Two Ton Baker web site, I put together a page 
  describing how I restore them.  It has notes, audio samples, and screen 
  shots of my audio editing program, CoolEditPro (although they're more for 
  decoration than enlightenment).
