			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As designers we used to rely on colleagues or our brains to match a font. When we drew a blank we would end up tracing the client&#8217;s type with paths. No more. Now there are online resources for matching fonts.</p>
<p><span id="more-296"></span></p>
<p><strong>Narrowing it Down</strong></p>
<p>I know of a couple of sites that let you narrow down your font selection one step at a time by identifying the traits that your target font has. You can search by sight at <a href="http://www.identifont.com/" target="_blank">identifont.com</a> which I&#8217;ve been playing with all day and you can also try to the search by sight tool at <a href="http://www.fonts.com" target="_blank">fonts.com</a></p>
<p>Another option is to try <a href="http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/" target="_blank">myfonts.com</a> where you can upload an image file which will be processed and compared to their database for close matches. Very cool.</p>
<p><strong>Going Old-School</strong></p>
<p>A last resort is utilizing methods that have been around forever. You can do take old fashion approach of looking through hundreds of fonts using windows font preview or a font manager such as Suitcase or ATM, but from here on out you can at least try taking a shortcut before you trace a logo or dig through a thousand fonts.</p>
<p>Hopefully we&#8217;ll never have to  endure the accumulated weeks of time that we&#8217;ve all spent in the past tracing text from client&#8217;s logos.  It&#8217;s great that the future is here.</p>
<p><em>Happy font hunting.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On a forum that I regularly visit, someone asked how to convert tapes to digital files, and how to clean up the noise&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 85%; color: #000000"><span class="spnMessageText" id="msg"> I do various audio projects&#8230; here is a less than descriptive â€˜step by stepâ€™ for youâ€¦</span></span></span></p>
<p>If you already have a means by which you can hook your tape player up to your computer, then all you need is some software that allows you to record. Windows sound recorder won&#8217;t work because it has a 1 minute restriction, but something like a shareware clone of sound forge will do the trick. Try Audacity&#8230; I haven&#8217;t used it, but I hear that it is of the highest quality, and it is FREE! <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://audacity.sourceforge.net/</a></p>
<p>1) Test input level (must be below 0.0)<br />
2) Cue tape<br />
3) Press record on audio software<br />
4) Press play on tape<br />
5) Stop tape and recording process<br />
6) Save file</p>
<p>Good luck on finding noise reduction software that is affordable. Most are pretty steep. Waves restoration bundle and ray gun are the good ones&#8230; maybe they have trial versions??</p>
<p>Have fun!</p>
