Recording to cassette deck

I would like to record off my computer to a cassette deck,can this be done from a Audiology 2 platinum card, if so please let me know how.
Thanks Eric

Just connect the deck into soundcard the way you connect it into your Hi-Fi system:
Recording w/ deck:
Soundcard_Line-out (normally line-out #1) --> Deck_Line-in
Playback through PC:
Deck_Line-out (playback) --> Soundcard_Line-In n
CT Mixer -> open the Line-In n channel you're using for input.

  • Recording from Cassette Is

    <SPAN>I have a up to date PCI Sound Blaster card with mini jacks. Trying to get that actual recording level or default level, when recording line-in from a cassette deck, or more precisely from a receiver that the deck in connected to. I know I have achieved this before and really need help. Now the recording level in hooked to the sound mixer line-in settings. I need the sound coming into the PC to be independent of the PC volume control line-in level. I need the sound coming in and what is being recorded in the PC to be the actual level found on the cassette. Now the problem is when I notch up or down the recording volume of the line-in on the mixer up or down, the recording level does up or down with it. I do not want this.. Please Help

    You can't bypass the source (line-in) volume control, but you can bypass the source: Wave and Recording level controls by using Asio4All (or WDM/KS) drivers and some recording software supporting ASIO (or WDM/KS) driver mode.
    I don't know the card/software you have there, but ... normally you just
    - set the source (line-in) level to 85&#37;-00&#37;
    - control/set the recording level on "Windows Recording Controls" (or creative mixer app) or on software you're using
    - control the output level w/ master volume control (task bar, playback controls, ct mixer) or w/ Wave output volume control

  • Old records and cassette tapes

    I have a number of old LP records and cassette tapes that I would like to import into Itunes. Is this possible and what would I need to do it ? Any help would be appreciated

    One way is to connect your Cassette deck or turntable (through the Tape out sockets of your amplifier) to the audio in socket of your computer. On the computer you'll need audio editing software to capture and edit the resulting long file into individual tracks that can be added to the iTunes Library. There are a number of commercial programs for this (I use Sound Studio for the Mac). If want to try out the process first you could try the open source program Audacity which has Linux, Mac and Windows versions at this link: Audacity. If your Mac came with it installed you could also check out Garageband, I've never used it myself so I'm not sure of it's capabilities.
    In addition to the software you'll need RCA to 3.5 mm audio plug cables to connect the Tape Out sockets of your amplifier to the audio inputs of your computer. There's a short guide to recording here: How to record from vinyl and cassette to a computer also from the BBC Copying Vinyl Recordings to CD
    If your Mac or PC hasn't got an audio in socket you can have a look at the Griffin iMic which connects to a USB port and comes with some software of it's own: iMic USB audio interface

  • Recording audio cassettes to a MacBook Air

    I'm an English Teacher in China, and would like to transfer the lessons from the audio cassettes of various school books to my MacBook Air.  It's 2009 model, so only one USB.  I understand that the microphone jack is an OUT line only, so I am a bit stumped as to how to proceed. The cassettte player has a USB port, but I am not sure if this can be used as an audio output line.  It also has various RCA jacks as well. Any thoughts? Keep in mind that I might no be able to access all available adapters, so the simplest solution would be the best (well, I suppose it always is!).  Thanks for any help in advance.
    Cheers.

    Before buying the direct USB to USB cable, check the manual of the cassette deck if it can work in this way.
    If you can't find the manual, give it a try... it will not blow up your mac nor the cassette desk... it will simply not work. You may have to set the Mac's USB audio input with applications / utilities / Audio MIDI setup.app
    The analog (analogue) to digital convertor is a small device (about 40 to 50 €) with :
    on side a USB plug with digital output (goes right into the Mac)
    on the other side a mini jack for analog input (ex the cassette deck)
    Most of them come with a male mini jack to  2x female RCA splitter cable.
    Kind regards,

  • Recording from Cassette Pla

    When recording from a cassette player (into an mp3), is the "line out" from the player the same as the headphone jack or do I need to get a different cassette player.

    Lots of times the headphone jack isn't the same level or impedance as a true line level output, so overdriving and distortion may be a problem. Depends on the particular player. A "set-top" type player has line out jacks and would probably sound a lot better in the end. I've gone through changing all my tapes to music CDs and it was well worth it in the end. Now on to the vinyl, then the laser discs.

  • Qosmio G20: Recording from tape deck to computer

    My Qusmio G20 manual says the 'Monitor-in Port' functions as a 'line-in Port' for connecting an audio device. However, I have connected up my tape deck's line-out ports to the computer's 'Monitor-in Port' with the appropriate cables and jack and get no signal/tape playing through the computer's speakers.
    Can anyone advise me on whether this is truly possible to do, and if so, where I might be going wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply, Alcahest.
    The speaker Icon you talk of (Volume Control) only has 'line-in' listed in the 'recording properties' section of it, and having its box checked doesn't relate to muting but allowing, so far as I can figure. Anyway I have tried all variations of ticked and unticked boxes in 'volume control' and in the 'recording control' section of it, with no success.
    Odd thing is, if I plug into the microphone socket on the computer I do get the tape deck playing through the speakers, but unfortunately only in mono.

  • Gaps every 40 seconds when recording from cassette or records

    Since purchasing Audition 3.0 some months ago, whenever recording from a cassette or record a blank space is inserted every 40 seconds into the recording. This gap is quite audible when playing the recording back.
    I tried to contact support and twice it has not solved the problem...very frustrating...help much appreciated.
    This was the major reason for purchasing the software.

    Okay, not the results I expected to see, but let's keep hacking.
    My next suggestion would be to change the audio device driver being used. Click Edit > Audio Hardware Setup and you should see a drop-down box labeled "Audio Driver." There should be at least 2 drivers listed: Audition 3.0 Windows Sound, and Creative ASIO.
    If you are using the Creative ASIO driver, my first recommendation would be to stop. It is notoriously buggy and erratic. I would recommend changing to the Audition 3.0 Windows Sound driver which is not the most powerful driver, but is compatible with almost all hardware out there.
    If you were already using this driver, or still experience the recording gaps, my next suggestion would be to visit http://www.asio4all.com/ and download and install the ASIO4ALL driver. It is similar in operation to the Audition driver, but it is based on WDM technology which allows for faster operation and more control over the hardware. Once installed, launch Audition and change the Audio Driver to ASIO4ALL.
    If the gaps STILL occur, I think we can probably rule out audio drivers as the cause and move on.
    Thanks for your patience as we troubleshoot this!

  • Recording from Cassette via iMic - Channel 2 barely audible

    The cassette tape is connected via iMic. When I record, Channel 2 wave form is almost none existent and the solo is inaudible. When I listen to the cassette the channel 2 solo is quite nicely balanced. What am I doing wrong?

    First thing is to try another set of cables, or switch the L and R on one end of the cables you are currently using to see if it's a wiring problem.

  • Recording to cassette with no rendering: how to?

    Hi.
    I rendered my hdv holiday 33 minutes trip on Premiere selectecting "export to cassette" and it took about 6 hours to. Finally the camera started recording but suddenly it stopped (don't know why). I have the Premiere generated file, *.hdv on my hard disk and would like to know whether there's a way to record the file to cassette with no rendering the project again.
    I hope I've explained the question fine and hope there's a way, or a standalone program (if Premiere isn't able to) to put my rendered project into the cassette avoiding to wait for 6 hours again.
    Thank you very much.
    Michele.

    Ah ok. I had the thought I was doing something wrong but he fact is that.
    Steven, you probably know that Premiere generates a file while rendering the sequence and the put it into the tape. Is there a way I can put that file into the tape with Premiere or another software? I need a simple drag and drop from pc to tape. I need a software like hdvsplit that the generated hdv file into the tape throgh the firewire port.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Can't Record to firewire deck...

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having some major issues trying to record a DV-AVI file out to my DSR-11 DVCAM deck. If I try to export to tape in CS6 (not using a third party card) it will only play about 2 seconds then stop (the clip is an hour long), and CS5.5 on the same system plays it back fine for awhile before it drops the signal for a second or two,then picks back up again. I also see the signal dropping issue in CS6 as well.
    I've tried hooking up my DVX-100B to the firewire port, and it's getting bad looking stuff too. I've also tried re-installing the firewire port drivers...this is on a Z800 Windows 7, 24GB RAM.
    I seem to be able to capture fine - I used CS6 to capture the hour long program, but I can't get it to roll back out to another tape....didn't I go tapeless so I wouldn't have to deal with this stuff??
    Is there anything I should know about bugs regarding DV / firewire useage with CS6 and/or CS5.5 installed on the same machine?

    Okay - so after removing CS5.5 from my system, I've still got the problem.
    And when I tried to switch PPro from GPU acceleration to Software, I got this messgae:
    Premiere Pro has encountered am error [..\..\Src\VideoFrameFactory.cpp-233]
    And in the Event Window it said this - An input contract has occurred
    Can anyone from Adobe shed some light on this?

  • Record to DVCAM deck from timeline problem

    I'm trying to record, via firewire, from my timeline to my DVCAM deck, but I can't because in the Preferences>Video/Audio Settings in Video Playback, there isn't an option at all for "Firewire NTSC," which is the option I need to send it to the DVCAM deck.  How can I correct this and record to tape?

    Solution!  I went through my Matrox Mini, which includes a Firewire NTSC setting.

  • How can I record a cassette on CD?  New 27 inch iMac does not have mini plug/mic input

    I want to transfer music from a cassette to a CD using my new iMac but the iMac does not have a mini plug input for a mic.  I understand that I need to get an adaptor to use a USB port.  I bought a Syba SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adaptor and tried to use it.  All the sound came in on the left channel, the sound level was very high and could not be adjujsted down, and was very distorted.  After about 5 minutes of trying to adjust, my iMac showed a dialog that said It was having a kernnel panic!  I discontinued trying and returned the Syba.  Can anyone recommend an adaptor that will work with the iMac and Toast Spin Doctor?

  • Recording vinyl to MP3 with Sound Blas

    Hi All,
    I'm a bit of a technophobe so please be kind.
    I've just bought a Sound Blaster to record my vinyl into MP3s and I am having a bit of difficulty. The problem being my turntable has two leads coming from it (one red and one white) and there is only one 'Line In'. I've tried with just the red lead from the turntable into the Sound Blaster and just the white lead - it records the song and downloads it into an MP3 but on play back there is no sound. One thought is that I need to somehow get both the red and white lead into the Sound Blaster at the same time - a cable that connects those leads and di'verts them into one lead into the Sound Blaster - will this help with the sound?
    Thanks for your patience,
    John

    Depends on soundblaster model and turntable system you have there but normally, you need
    - a phono pre-amp w/ RIAA sage between the turntable and soundcard ... and
    - a 2 x RCA to stereo mini jack adapter/cable to connect the turntable/pre-amp into soundcard
    RIAA EQ needed for vinyls can be done by the software as well but, as the recording levels you get are maybe too low (though, this can be fixed by adding gain using software) I suggest, if needed, you either get an external phono pre-amp ($30-$xxxxxx) or connect the turntable using the tape or aux I/O on your stereo system (if there is one). This is done by connecting the PC into your Hi-Fi system as you would connect a cassette deck ... and use exact same settings for recording from turntable using PC as you do when record using cassette deck.
    Some instructions over using software based RIAA EQ -

    I think you get best results by using the 48kHz version + Voxengo recorder.

  • GB stops recording while inputting audio from cassette

    Greetings,
    I've been recording from a cassette deck through the line in on my G5. I recorded 14 cassettes with no problems. On the 15th, the GB recording suddenly stopped about five minutes in. I reset the tape and the timeline and tried it again. It stopped at about three minutes in. Several attempts more have made the recording time shorter and shorter.
    Any ideas on what's going on?
    thanks,
    Robert

    The solution seems to be in deleting all the previously recorded tracks in order to make room for the new ones. I had been recording tape after tape into GB with the idea of dropping them all to iTunes at once.
    If you find yourself in this situation, try burning the files over then deleting old tracks. It worked for me.

  • Record Cassettes to computer?

    I have macbook pro. and I want to record my old cassettes to my computer. I know I can use my headphone port with a mini jack but I dont know what wires connect to what between the casstte deck and my computer. Can anyone help with REALLY easy instructions?
    Thanks,
    Jillllee

    There are two elements that you will need.  One is the connecting hardware.  You will need a 'Y' connector with a 3.5 mm plug at one end for the MBP and the two RCA audio jacks for the output from the cassette deck.  This is an example:
    http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku= A1122629&dgc=ST&cid=262075&lid=4742361&acd=1230980794501410
    In addition, you will need the appropriate software.  Not an endorsement of same but as an example:
    http://download.cnet.com/CD-Spin-Doctor/3000-2170_4-45643.html
    I used Spin Doctor that was bundled with Toast 8.
