Upgrade your music!
By Red Squirrel
No problem. With your computer (with sound card), a tape recorder/player, and an audio cable with two male ends, you can easily do this.
In my case, I have another cord in which connects to my PC's sound card, but it's the same principle, the only difference is instead of plugging the tape recorder into the computer, I plug it into the extension. On most sound cards, the audio input is blue.
Connecting everything Connecting is quite simple, simply plug in your audio source (in this case a tape recorder) into it's power source, plug the audio cable in it's earphone jack, and plug the other end in the computer's input. (in my case it's the other cable).
Recording You now need a program that can record sound. Sound Forge is good for that, and I'm sure someone can *hook you up* at our forum with other software as well. You can use Sound Recorder, which come with Windows, but the quality is bad and you are very limited in how much you can record.
Most programs are pretty straightforward. To record, you simply hit record, and hit play on your tape recorder. You will need to wait till the wanted sound has finished playing, so if it's a one-hour tape, you will need to record for one hour, and some computers might not have the capacity for that, assuming you are recording in high quality wav, which is the most ideal if it's something you want to keep high quality. I recommend that if you are recording an album, that you go one song at a time, and save separate wav files. From there, you can do what you want with them, such as burning them as audio CDs as tracks to play in a CD-player, or simply keeping them on the computer. If you choose to keep them on the computer, your best bet is to record them as MP3, or convert them afterwards, as they will take less space. You can also burn data CDs and put more MP3s then you can put WAVs, if listening to it in your stereo is not what you want, but simply to keep them as files for PC use.
PC to tape If you want to do this, but from the PC to a tape (example: edited audio presentation) you can do it the same way, but instead, you would plug in the cable into the "mic" jack of the tape recorder, and into the "in" jack of the computer. You would also have to play the sound on the computer, and press record on the tape recorder.
I hope you enjoyed this as much as my cat did, and that it was informative to you! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate and ask them in our forum!
