Hi Alonso. Thank you for the comment and support!

Simon, I have a small generic "no name" cassette tape playback device, referred to as the "digital recorder" in the limited instructions, that has an included micro-usb to usb cable. I use earphones to listen through the headphone jack to queue the tape, but when I hit "play" Audacity is getting no signal whatsoever. If you are familiar with such a playback-to-mp3 device, any insights are greatly appreciated!

Could you do the same thing but only using a 3.5mm Jack to 3.5mm Jack that is plugged into the headphone port on the macbook?

@RandyOverton 6 месяцев назад

I have been online, I need the headphone plugin for my Technics Cassette, then that should have a USB end to plug into my my MacBook Pro. I will be using Garageband. I must not be calling what I need correctly because everytime, I get the same items that I can not use. Can you tell me or provide a link on what I need as shown above. Thank you. I have over 75 cassette tapes from the 70's and 80's. It will take me a while to complete, but also save me a lot of $$.

I'm trying to convert a reel to reel tape to my MacBook m2 and the software isn't compatible. Any advice please?

@michelbouchet3605 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for this tutorial. Does this method still works with a Mac Book Air M1 ? I tried, but was unsuccessful. There seem to be no audio input.

@tedtodorov698 6 месяцев назад

The input is USB -- in this video, they are showing a USB A output, so you will either need a different one or a USB A to USB C converter because you MacBook Air has USB C only

I'm using a Behringer U-Phoria UMC22 and it's not working. Suggestions? Thanks.

@eddiearaya2456 Год назад

Could I use garageband? How do I export the song when finished?

@999ultracheesereviews 3 месяца назад

garageband sounds like shit lol, you have to do so many more steps in terms of limiting

@user-zp5el5nk5q Год назад

I have a Mac OS 10.13 so I downloaded the older version of Audacity., 3.2. The newer version did not work at all. However, under the Mac sound preferences for input it only said - USB Microphone USB. The cables are placed correctly; but is this why it does not seem to pick up any audio on the cassette tape? Thanks.

@user-zp5el5nk5q Год назад

That should read Audacity 1.25. Thanks.

@suzzym1 7 месяцев назад

same issue here - following for response

@medwardsfilms Год назад

What do I do if, on my Mac "Sound>Input" the computer is not finding the cassette player I have connected to it? I only see "Built-in" as an option.

@amyfishervoiceovers Год назад

that's why you need software like audacity, twisted wave, garage band etc.

@melindamcdaniel Год назад

After I recorded using audacity you can hear some static through the recording, would you not what’s causing this or how I could fix it?

@TechThatDoesntByte Год назад

Hi Melinda. Did you hear the static noise during the recording process? You might be able to remove the static sound by using the noise reduction effect within Audacity. Select your recorded audio and click on "Effect" and select "Noise Reduction." Then click on "Get Noise Profile." The window will disappear once it has collected the noise profile. Click on "Effect" and select "Noise Reduction" again but this time you will click on 'Ok' and it should start the noise reduction.

@melindamcdaniel Год назад

@@TechThatDoesntByte ok I’ll try that! Thank you so much!!

@TangibleCheese Год назад

you can do that, or just buy a tape player

@user-gu5ny6qp2p Год назад

Hi. I tried this but it doesn't work. The sound settings win my Mac does not have USB PnP audio device option. Please help. Thanks

@TechThatDoesntByte Год назад

Hi ask learn. Thanks for the comment. I'm sorry to hear about the issue. That's a strange issue. Let's see what is going on! What is the brand name of your audio capture card device? Also, have you tried unplugging and replugging the audio device after restarting your Mac?

@suzzym1 7 месяцев назад

same issue here.
