Having just upgraded my copy of Audacity I was playing around with it last night, and I'm sure those curves were high at the LF end and low at the HF end, which would make them playback compensation rather than record pre-emphasis. While you've got audacity open can also use its noise removal tool to cut out rumble and tape/preamp hiss. -- Anahata anahata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tel: 01638 720444 http://www.treewind.co.uk Mob: 07976 263827
