Title: transferring from tape to digital Post by: OneEar/OneEye on November 02, 2011, 12:28:40 PM i recently downloaded audacity - if i ran a line from the phones jack on my tape player and put the other end into the mic jack of my computer, would i then be able to transfer the recording on the casette into audacity?
thanks for any help. Title: Re: transferring from tape to digital Post by: hypehat on November 02, 2011, 12:36:34 PM Yep, just make sure the levels are all sound!
Title: Re: transferring from tape to digital Post by: OneEar/OneEye on November 02, 2011, 01:07:36 PM you mean the input levels into audacity? make sure they are not too far into the red?

Transferring from tape to digital has been cool, though challenging soundwise as some of these recordings are as old as 20 + years. It's been fun though. :)
