I have taken advantage of being snowed in to finish digitizing the Programmed Italian tapes I have. Unfortunately, I only have the first twelve tapes covering Unit-A through Unit-18. If anyone has the remaining twelve, let me know. I will be happy to digitize them also.

Here is what I have done on my Apple G4 running OS 10.4.11.
Used Sound Studio 2.2.4 from Felt Tip Software http://www.felttip.com
Digitized tapes at 44.1kHz, 24 bit, stereo. Mixed down to mono, ran through a Noise Gate Expander filter(Peak Threshold -36dB, Attack time 0.02 sec, Release time 0.2 sec to silence audio below threshold), ran through a Normalize filter(Peak to -3dB), trimmed leader & trailer to approximately 2 seconds and down sampled to 22.05kHz. Saved files in AIF format.

Used Audacity 1.2.6 with LAME 3.91 Library
Imported previously created AIF files, edited ID3 tags (to show Units covered, Artist & album), exported as MP3.

As soon as I can upload them to Vagabond Pilgrim and he approves them he can list links for the files.

FYI

The tracks from the tapes have been uploaded to our host, VagabondPilgrim. He says everything looks good and he should have them linked in a couple days.

Once the are up; if anyone finds any problems with the tracks PLEASE let me know directly. I have the original tapes and will do my best to repair any problem areas in the digitized recordings.

If anyone has access to the tapes for the second half of the course, I'm willing to digitize them also.

Enjoy!
