Windows Sound Recorder
I apologize if this is the wrong group for this question. If there's a
better group to ask, please point me in that direction. I have an audio cassette I need to record onto my hard drive, so that I can decrease the speed, then put it onto a CD-ROM. A little background information so you know why I need to do this... My unemployment appeals hearing took place over the phone, and was recorded by the appeals court for records. They sent the tape to me and when I play it back, it's way too fast. Because some of these hearing can last a long time, and to conserve audio tapes, they record them at half-speed. My attorney needs to hear this tape and be able to understand it, but at the current speed, it just sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks on meth... I've attempted to play the tape on a tape player and record into "Windows Sound Recorder", and this works great, except that it won't allow me to tape anything of any length. I get 60 seconds into it, and it stops recording. I need to tape approximately 45 to 60 minutes and can't figure out how to accomplish this. Can you tell me how I can accomplish this without having to buy equipment that I'll probably never need again? Is it even possible? Thanks in advance for any ideas, advice or direction to where I can go for help. Thanks, Brigitte |

HI Brigitte
I apologize if this is the wrong group for this question. If there's a better group to ask, please point me in that direction. I have an audio cassette I need to record onto my hard drive, so that I can decrease the speed, then put it onto a CD-ROM. To record the cassette onto your computer you could use any number of free or shareware programs. I've been using Audacity (search for the download on Google). Alternatively - you could use Goldwave (free for evaluation purposes) - which will record your tape onto your PC as a .wav file. To change the speed of the recording you can use Goldwave - it has an effect called 'timewarp' - which will slow down or speed up the digitised audio. If you have a CD-writer on your PC you can then 'burn' the speed-corrected audio onto a CD - failing that you should be able to record it back onto your cassette tape recorder (on a different tape!) You should not need any new hardware - as it sounds as if you already have 'proved' that you can get sound from your cassette tape onto your PC via Windows recorder. If it's only for speech then you could reduce the 'sample rate' of the recording - which will make the resulting file smaller and easier to handle on the PC. Good luck! Adrian Suffolk UK |

Adrian Suffolk UK Hi Adrian, Thanks for your quick response. I've been using a microphone strung across the room to the "boombox" that's playing the tape. I suspect I'll need some sort of different connection??...Like a device that plugs into the tape player, then into the sound card on my computer??...Would I need this sort of device in order to use the programs you recommend? Thanks, Brigitte |

If your tape player has a line-out connector, connect that to the line-in connection on the sound card. If you don't have a line-out connector, you can use the headphone jack, but it will be much louder. If you have to go this route, make sure you start with the volume on the tape player really low, and take some test recordings to see how it sounds. As far as the physical connection, radio shack will have any cable you might need. The line-in connection on the sound card is probably a 1/8" female two channel (stereo) jack, so you'll need a cable that terminates with a 1/8" make two channel (stereo) jack. The other end of the cable just needs to be what ever the connector on your tape player needs. Thanks, Brigitte |

Hi Bridgitte
OK, forget my earlier reply...I downloaded it and I think Audacity is going to work for me. Thanks... No problem - Audacity will let you make the recording - but I don't think it'll do a speed shift for you - but the evaluation version of Goldwave will. Recording from the mic in front of the 'boombox' wouldn't be ideal for 'hi-fi' recording - but if it's a once-only thing and just for speech then you should be OK. Make sure that you don't overload the mic by having the volume on the boombox set too high - that'll sound distorted & horrible.... Good luck Adrian Suffolk UK |

You need to identify what kind(s) of audio input your computer has. If it has "Line In", then a simple ~$5 cable will directly connect whatever output (headphone, speaker, line-level) your cassette player has directly to the Line In on your computer. This is the most desirable method. If your computer has only a "Mic Level" input, you can get a special cable (for not a lot more $$) that has an attenuator that allows connecting a line output to a microphone input. These are sold by Radio Shack, etc. Would I need this sort of device in order to use the programs you recommend? The interconnection method should be completely independent of which program you end up using. |

Can you tell me how I can accomplish this without having to buy equipment that I'll probably never need again? Is it even possible? I see you've solved your main problem. But, for the record, the way to make WSR record longer files is to record into an existing wav file of the required length. You can make one by cut-and-paste within WSR. Or you can use an existing one, if available. It doesn't matter what the audio content is - you're going to "record over" it anyway. |
