The Complete Procedure For Turning Audio Cassettes Into MP3s

Please consider me a baby , or ignorant on how to begin the process of turning many old and rare cassettes into MP3 format.
One friend told me that I need to get an audio interface device to go with my MacBook Pro to do this.
Another friend said he uses Adobe Audition to turn his cassettes into MP3s, but I am not sure if he uses this with a PC or with a Mac. The whole thing is not clear to me. 
I read briefly in another query that Taste or Spin Doctor is used to do this. Are they similar soft ware like Adobe Audition, and if so are they more user friendly ?
I need to be able to visualize what kind of wires I need to connect the Mac to an audio interface to the cassette player.
I want to get the best quality sound I can, within a certain budget, if there are certain factors that I am not aware of. I'm archiving these recordingsd for generations to come.
Once I learn from you how to connect all of this together, I need to know how I will edit these tapes. Some will be at a low volume and I may need to increase the volume, some may be distorted and loud. Some will have a hiss on them or some other interference.
Another concern is that when a freind did some cassettes for me into MP3 before, entire sides of a cassette with many songs all got "stuck together" as if they were all one song. I would like to be able to divide them up on a side. Do I do this editing as the recording is being done, or do I do this later ? What is possible ? It seems it is better to do it as it is playing.
Thanks very much for reading this and helping me to get started with your guidance !
Sincerely,
Gaura

If you can see the track in your iTunes library, right-click the track and choose "Show in Windows Explorer."  This will take you right to the folder where the corresponding song file is located.

  • Recording from an audio cassette into digital format on a Satellite A100

    I want to record old music tracks from an audio cassette into mp3 format or similar. I have downloaded Audacity software but don't know if I can actually set up a line-in connection from my cassette player to my Toshiba Satellite A100. Is this possible via the micophone connection? Are there alternative ways of arranging this via one of the USB ports?
    If anyone has suggestions I would be interested to read them.
    Thanks
    Ken

    Hello Ken
    If you want to do this on professional way you need right stuff for doing this. A friend of mine has bought some package to digitalize old gramophone records. He bought some external device and special software.
    I can really do not remember the name of this product but I know it was connected over USB port. The gramophone or, in your case, cassette player must be connected to this external device.
    Google little bit around and you will find many good products for these purposes. In my opinion the MIC port is not the best solution.

  • What is the best way to turn line art into a 3D image in Illustrator? Thanks for your help.

    What is the best way to turn line art into a 3D image in Illustrator? Thanks for your help.

    What version of Illustrator? What do you mean by "Line Art"? What do you mean by "3d image"? Post images showing your starting artwork and an example of what you are trying to achieve.
    If you have Illustrator 12 or higher you can extrude or lathe a simple group or path using Effects > 3D > [Pick one]. You must start with vector data, not a placed raster image. You are very limited in what you can do, and you cannot model multiple objects within one 3D world. Each object you extrude/revolve/rotate is its own world, with its own perspective and camera. You can also make any art into a Symbol, then map that symbol onto any 3D surface you create. The results are, at best, acceptable, and often total garbage.

  • My daughter has somehow figured out how to register for her own Apple ID but is very underage. She is not giving me the correct info for me to get into her email. She has downloaded some apps that I would not allow. How can I recover her Apple ID info?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • Translation error in the registration procedure for Hp E-printcenter

    Hi,
    Not sure if this is the correct channel, but I just wanted to let you know that there is a mistake in the Dutch translations of the registration procedure for HP´s e-printcenter, which may confuse people.
    In the screenshot below, you can see that during the registration procedure, you need to configure who will be able to send print jobs to your e-print account.
    The first option (everybody) is ¨translated¨ in Dutch as ¨ideeën¨, which means ¨ideas¨. This may cause confusion for some people and considering the fact that this registration procedure is one of the first experiences that people have with the e-print center, I think it would be wise to have it changed.
    The correct translation is ¨iedereen¨.
    Kind regards,

    Hi Joep_Klijs,

    Hi Bev,
    Thanks for the the email - I understand now.
    I would just like to ask another question with regards to my new order for complete Creative Cloud which you suggested. I have now pre-paid for a full year but I’m not
    sure when I can start downloading the other APPS as they don’t seem to be updating on my current Creative Cloud account app display. It still shows my old configuration
    of products (i.e. Photoshop etc) and my ‘activity stream’ relates back to 9 days ago.
    Please let me know how to get my new order activated.
    Thanks

  • Excise duty in the Pricing Procedure for Local Purchase / Importation

    Hi,
    I'd like to know how to set up the pricing procedure for the purchase of an IS Oil Material; for local purchase and importation, especially with regards to the excise duty posting.
    Local purchase:  the vendor will bill us inclusive of the ED tax he previously paid, so the tax is just passed on to us..  My receiving location has ED paid status. In the PO item, we need to see this price (inclusive of tax) in the net price field.
    Importation:  the vendor only bills us the cost of the material.  When we received the fuel, we paid ED tax to local tax authorities.
    I know that both in these scenarios, the system has to determine the excise duty.
    My questions are (1) how do you set up the excise duty condition type  in the pricing procedure(or do they have to be maintained in the pricing procedure?) ?   and (2)  how do you set up this condition type in the config?
    Thank you and hoping for your immediate feedback.

    Hi,
    You can use same pricing procedure
    put 4 in subtotal in pricing procedure against the Discounr or freight cond
    and in taxinn
    BASb ALTCBV 362 and for jmop 363
    But this will work only if same  discount or freight value is in IV as that given in PO
    if freing value changes in IV then its a problem
    This is SAP bug, and SAP workes in that way only, freight value should be same in PO and IV
    other solution
    in taxinn create tax code like v8 vat 4% for 003 tax clasification
    in ftxp create tax code V8 desc vat 4%
    in fv11 for jvrd put 4
    and at the time of IV put this tax code for freight amount
    and for regular material value V1 tax code
    this will work only if u have used acess seq MWST instead of JTAX pr JST1
    hope this helps

    I designed a folio in Indesign CS6 and created an app of the folio in adobe dps and succesfully uploaded it to the app store. Now I want to update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?

    no, just update your content and recreate the Single Edition App. Your certificate should still be valid so there is not need to recreate these.
    ... your App ID absolutely need to be the exact same one you used for the first version if you want to make sure this is an update.

    Nope, I doubt it.  As I said:
    I disabled Aero theme, checked font scaling was 100% and rebooted Windows in between all of the steps to no avail.
    I've been reading a lot around this and it seems the arrow key problem is a red herring; I think it's just some kind of terminal preferences corruption.
