<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Christopher.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings from Austin, Texas.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had to abandon Zing for those exact reasons several years ago.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t know off-hand if anyone has managed to keep that hardware / software combo going past WinXP; I sincerely doubt it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are many other options for such digitization. Assuming you do not have the original reel-to-reel masters and only have these cassette sub-masters to work from, you could try finding an old Tascam PortaStudio 424 unit that would allow
you to output all 4 sides of a cassette simultaneously, into/through a variety of DAI (Digital Audio Interface) devices, and into a variety of audio software such as Sound Forge etc.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are a lot of details involved so feel free to contact me off-list if you want to talk more.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hey all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question, Is anyone still using the Telex Zing Versatile Audio Digitizer program to convert cassettes to a digital format with windows 10?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I.T. is pulling our computer that is running Zing because windows XP is the operating system and not supported anymore.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wondering if I pull the sound card and put it in a newer computer running Windows 10, will Zing still work properly?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And if not, are there any other options (Hardware, Software) that folks are using?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks and have a great weekend!<o:p></o:p></p>
