Default Digitizing Old Cassette Tapes

In article .com,
wrote:

I have a Canopus ADVC-100 converter hooked up from a cassette deck to
my Intel Mac via Firewire so I can digitize some old audio cassettes.
I thought I could fire up QuickTime Pro and do a "New Audio
Recording," but I don't seem to be getting signal from the deck. I
checked under the Sound panel in the System Preferences, hoping to
find the ADVC listed in the Input list, but no. Any suggestions as to
how to get the audio piped into my Mac? Will QuickTime Pro do the
job? I also have ProTools and Garage Band.

Thanks.

If you have Protools, then dump the audio into Protools with your Digi
interface; forget the Canopus for this unless you wanna muck with
iMovie. Use PT to create your aiff files and burn CD's with them in
iTunes.

Or just dump the cassettes' output to the Audio In of your Mac into
Garageband.
