Cassette to Digital Conversion?

Post by Antero » Tue Dec 14, 2004 4:32 pm

Hola, folks. Been lurking around here a while, finally registered because I have an actual question! (Cue dramatic music.)

I have here a cassette tape of songs that my cousin recorded back in, I guess the early 80's? Something like that. I'm trying to figure out how to convert it to digital - I've got an MBox and a couple of stereos with tape machines, but I've got no idea what output to use on the tape machines and so forth...

Thanks!

On your stereo go left line out into ch.1 and right line out into ch2 of your mbox, rca to 1/4" connectors.

cheers,

Hey, thanks Dougo. I'm still trying to work things out with this... the speakers, see, are wired directly to the back of the damn thing with some sort of rectangular connector that I can't recognize... I think I'm going to give the headphone jack a try, though, and hopefully it'll work fine... mostly mono stuff anyhow.

And thanks for giving the Pirate Song a listen :biggergrin:
