Guest JJMMWGDuPree Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I've got a couple, but I'd recommend using a decent hi-fi cassette player and let Audacity do the hard work. Seems to me I get better results that way. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chalky Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I have the ion and I used it from the mains and it still recorded slow. I simply have PC connected to my hifi set up. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Some usb turntables - I have a Numark TT - come with a lead and socket that allows you to connect a tape deck to it and record to your computer (using Audacity or whatever audio software you prefer). Simple... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest MrC Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 thanks for the reply but i only have an old portable tape player and it has no output for a cable only an earphone socket... you just need a minijack to minijack lead - one end in the tapedeck headphone socket, one end in the line in/mic socket on pc/laptop. Audacity software would work great with that setup, and thats free, so only the cost of your lead (about a fiver) to fork out. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tony A Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Or even a program called "Audiograbber" easy to use with adjustable input/rec levels, was also free last time I looked. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

THAT's the program I couldn't remember - always used to have a copy of that, but got soundforge, it got deleted, then a couple of years later when I wanted something similar for someones laptop I couldn't remember the name of it! Cheers Tony! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
