I sometimes use compression or High Pass and Low pass filters or Amplify, etc.whatever that particular song might need. It's amazing how much noise there is underlying the tracks, and it can make the sound muddy. Noise removal is a great feature.during recording i always let the tape run a few long seconds before the drum track starts, so that any room noise (or crickets, or the cat diving in and out of a cardboard box, or the hum of anything i have plugged in) can be taken out by doing a noise sample of that beginning part in Audacity, and then removing it from the whole song. Then i open those waves in Audacity and tweak what i need to. I run my finished tracks into my PC sound card and use Audiograbber's line-in feature with the normalizing on, usually. Both are FREE, easy to use, and do a great job. I use Audiograbber and Audacity software. That eliminates most if not all the residual tape noise. Here's something i HIGHLY recommend:: when you record, put the tape speed on the tascam on HIGH and the pitch on HIGH as well. Any problems i have are due to my inexperience in recording and tweaking. I have tested my tapes in jamboxes, car stereos and home stereos and can't really tell the difference between my tapes and commercial ones as far as sound quality. I record all the time with my MKIII, and after you learn a few tricks, i think it does a fine job.
