1) Sony 3-head cassette deck (TC-K615S) > 10 band equalizer,
"eq". The "eq" settings:

31Hz 62Hz 125Hz 250Hz 500Hz 1kHz 2kHz 4kHz 8kHz 16kHz
L:13db 13db 13db 13db 13db 13db 12db 11db 10db 9db
R:13db 13db 13db 13db 13db 12db 10db 10db 10db 9db

2) > My computer using "CoolEdit96".

3) "CoolEdit96" noise reduction, just to remove some of the
hiss & a little background noise, (after "Get Noise Profile
from Selection").

Noise Reduction Level = 7
FTP size = 8192
Number of statistical snapshots in profile = 96
Precision Factor = 10
Smoothing Amount = 1
Transition With = 0 db

4) In "GoldWave" I echoed as follows:

Delay(s) = 0.100
Volume (%) = 20
Reverb = unchecked

5) Then I used "GoldWave's Dynamics" for amplitude of the
dynamic range. I used the preset of "Soft Clip" which
maintains the nice rounded waveform curve from top to bottom.

6) And finally I normalized, lowered and raised the volume
(around 0.750db) where needed so the waveform was more
uniform. The entire process takes days for just one show.
This seems to give the best results. Their are hundreds or
more combinations of these settings, but I think the above
works best on 4/25
