Audio Recording Interface

Apogee Duet.

 

for a one time project: hire it out to a professional transfer service.

or, for your price, you could hire a better a/d converter than you could buy.

 

I agree with both the above replies, actually. An Apogee Duet would be excellent for doing what you want. It seems you know what you are doing, and this is about the best possible quality device for doing it.
Or.. You could pay someone to do the transfers for you. However, depending on how much material you have to transfer, it may still be cost effective to do it yourself with the Apogee interface.

If you do decide to do it yourself, then you only need the interface, and a basic 2 track audio recording/editing app. Of which theres a few free/cheap ones that would do a more than good enough job. I use Sound Studio, but theres a multitude of alternatives you can use.

 

Cheaper versions of Apogee Duet?

I've been considering the duet, but can anyone suggest something a bit cheaper, around the £200 mark?

 

The Mackie Onyx satelite isn't bad for the price.

 

I've heard great things about Tascam's FIREONE and this is a decent price as its sometimes at least double this.
Fire One by Tascam

Never used it but if I heard about it before I purchased the Duet I would have given it serious consideration.
