I am converting a few old LP's and cassette tapes to wave files in order to burn them on CD's. I'm using SoundForge to view, edit and normilize the files. I know the software comes with a few mastering tools but how can I pass the wave thru an effects series (be it compressor,EQ, or delay)before burning the CD? Or do I have to do this while recording on to the hard drive?

Get GoldWave (or a similar program) and it has filters, EQ's, reverb's, pitch shifters, etc., to do what you want with the signal.
GoldWave is shareware but worth the price to buy it. I bought it about 3 months ago and it was $60 canadian and the exchange rate at the time was less than $40 US.
GoldWave's web page is http://www.goldwave.com

There are absolutely hundreds of effects available on Soundforge- which I think is a great program- many of them are available free on magazine cover discs or the Net.
They call them Plug-ins, you just load them up and they appear on your Soundforge Toolbar. I'm slightly surprised you have not got some already. They all make permanent changes to your wave files.(You can back up the originals)
Having got your WAV files,with effects, you can run them from a Soundforge playlist or use something like CD Architect to set up the tracks and titles for your CD.

| Thanks for the info Dave. The software is new and I hadnt been to their site to see what's available for Plug-Ins yet. As I am getting to know SoundForge the more I like it. I'm sure with some add-in it will work great. |

Another great program for this is one called CD Spin Doctor. It comes with Adaptecs CD writer 4.0 Plus.
You can record to CD directly from cassette/record player. Options include getting rid of hiss/pop etc. and also equalizing the recorded volume levels, which is very handy if you are recording off of two different albums/cassettes.
