I transfer a lot of material via cassette to Sound Forge. Does anyone know a way of immitating slowing a tape down. I'd like to transfer from tape to digital at 2X speed and then with sound forge restore it to origional speed. It may save me some time. Thanks.

You might get decent results by recording it in at 2x speed and then using time compress/expand from the process menu to make it twice the length, but I am willing to bet you will encounter a lot of artifacts if you do this.

As an example: Make original SF recording at 44.1. Pick resample option. Put check mark in "Set the sample rate only (Do not resample)." Playback will now be 1/2 speed of original. This is also useful for old reecords that wont track at 78RPM but will at 33 1/3. You must work out the speed change ratios first though. Good luck.

I neglected to say: After making original SF recording, select Resample option and set to 22.05. THEN put check mark in etc.....
