NCH Swift Sound, specialists in audio, business and video applications announce the release of Golden Records version 1.09.

"Normally we do not press release a version update, but Golden Records is one of the very few applications on the market today that is designed specifically to convert your vinyl and cassettes to digital audio," said Stephanie Lee, marketing manager for the Canberra based company. "It is an extremely simple application with a wizard to guide you through to use but the underlying quality of the audio conversion is what sets it apart."

With automatic audio restoration tools such as a pop/click reduction, noise reduction, normalization, DC offset correction plus many more it means that anyone with a vinyl collection can digitize rare or favorite LPs and EPs and save them to Mp3 or burn them straight to CD.

"The appeal of Golden Records isn't limited to older generations who may have collected an array of LPs over their lifetime and would like to protect their rarer acquisitions, it is also an excellent tool for the new age of computer manipulated music," said Stephanie. "On the more simplistic side it allows users to simply listen to the music they love on a CD or Mp3 player."

Golden Records comes with a hardware setup guide and a fourteen day free trial (of all functionality) and can be downloaded from http://www.nch.com.au/golden

Since 1993 NCH Swift Sound's development team has released more than 40 Windows, Mac, Palm and Pocket PC applications which are now leaders in their classes and have been awarded for software excellence. See http://www.nch.com.au for more information.
