Transferring Old Audio Recordings to CD
By Bill Finch

The suggestion to transfer music from the phonograph pickup to WAV
file with the preemphasis intact and then apply deemphasis to the WAV
file is a great idea.  Okay, so far, but where does one find an RIAA
(or earlier) deemphasis filter for WAV files?  Does this filter come
pre-built in any of the audio software packages?

I use Cool Edit Pro and Protools LE.  I can dig up an old deemphasis
spec and build a filter that copies it.  How do the rest of you do
deemphasis in WAV format?
