View Full Version : Recording from Audio Casette to CD
I want to know how to record the audio casettes to a CD-Rom. Any
devices in market have this functionality?
Well, if I connect the audio casette player to PC, can I do that in
this way?
please advise. thanks!!

Plug the stereo output of any audio cassette player into the stereo
analog input of any standalone CD-R recorder.

I would connect the cassette player to the line-in of the PC's sound
card, then use Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) with the
stereo setting to record the sound. You can then split the
songs/whatever to separate tracks and export as separate wav files.
Then burn wav files to CD. Audacity is open source, excellent, and
free.

One thing to be aware of with the computer, not all sound cards have a
stereo line input. I just purchased a new Dell computer with a
Soundblaster live 24 bit sound card (which I paid extra for). I was
more than somewhat disappointed to discover that the line in was only
mono. The spec sheet on the Soundblaster card was very evasive about
whether the line input was mono or stereo. I now have a Turtle Beach
sound card which does have a stereo line input.

I'd be *really* surprised if the line in was mono (the non Dell range is
certainly stereo)
The Microphone input is Mono though. I bet you didn't check what socket you
were actually using.

That is so incorrect! The microphone input "IS" mono but the line input is
stereo.
If you are using Windows 2000, the built in driver in that OS had a bug that
made the recordings with that sound card and other live sound cards record in
mono, it was fixed in later release of Live drivers on www.soundblaster.com

Line In or Mic In? Mic is typically mono. Line isn't.
There is only one jack which is program selectable between mic. and
line, not 2 separate jacks. My old computer's sound card had 2 jacks,
no problem. The electret mics designed for computers use one of the 2
conductors and the shield for audio, and the other conductor (and
shield) for the bias voltage on the electret capsule. This
configuration does not lend itself to stereo though I would certainly
be interested in learning how it could be done (circuit wise) if it can
be done. What kind of ciruitry is used to switch the bias line to an
audio line.
I am an electronic technician with over 30 years of experience,
I am not, however, a computer expert. I do have access to the I.T.
gurus at work.
What I know as a fact is I could not record stereo with the
SoundBlaster (whether or not it is only a driver issue), but I can
record stereo with the Turtle Beach card. Therefore, my advice on
being certain that the sound card can do it is still valid.
Incidentally, the new computer is running XP Pro.
