I have a box of old cassette tapes (remember those?) that I want to get onto my PC. Nothing valuable or well-recorded, just some nostalgia from garage band days. I just gave away my old dual cassette deck which was broken (freecycle.org is great!), so now I am casually looking around for a new playback deck (don't need to record onto it). Any suggestions/recommendations under say $100?

I want to get some recording device for my birthday, but don't want my sisters to spend too much money. I'm don't really care as long as it sounds passable for a demo.

Would there be some way for me to hook up two 4-tracks ($160) instead of one 8-track digital recorder ($260), or would you think the difference in audio quality from cassette to CD-quality not be worth it?

Hey there,

I know it's not technically a pro audio thing but my area is mainly making as much noise as possible and I haven't had that much exp mastering.

Basically, my mate just brought round a very hectic rave tape. It's awesome, the only problem is that it's possibly a 5th or maybe 4th gen copy.

I have a bunch of music that I recorded onto audio cassette tapes using my 4-track Tascam Portastudio 424MK II a long time ago. Now I would like to transfer those tracks to digital tracks on my PC using my Cakewalk home studio 2002 software. I would like to store each track separately on my PC. The only problem is, with my current setup I believe I can only transfer 1 track at a time.

I have a tape of me doing abt 10 songs at a folk festival. Several originals to. I was thinking of sending it to a mastering studio to transfer to digital and master it.

Anyone have a preference for that type work?

Was stinking abt MassiveMastering.

greetings

i used to have a little Sony walkman type cassette recorder with a built in mic...

just for the heck of it, and to keep some kind of lo-fi analog recorder option in my backpack, i want a cassette recorder that can power one of those little stereo electret condenser mics...

any suggestions please?

respect,

Back in '93 I recorded some songs at a studio on what I'm almost sure was a Tascam 688 MidiStudio 8-track Cassette Recorder. I still have the masters but cannot find an analog 8 track mixer to rent (only a 4 track). I do not want to buy one for just a couple of songs.

My questions are:

Hi,

Sorry if this question is answered elsewhere, didn't see... I'm new to home recording, I have a four track cassette recorder which needs to be mixed down to a 2 track, can I use my regular cassette deck for this mixdown. I'm not all familiar yet with the ins and outs, thanks for answering...

Advance thanks..

I'm doing some cassette transfers for a client and I'm looking for some advice on purchasing a cassette deck. I've been looking at the Tascam 130 and a few Teac decks but I'm open to anything. I hear Nakamichi decks are the best. Basically I need a low noise, wide frequency range deck with very low wow/flutter. A deck with dbx NR would be a plus.

Any suggestions?

I'm looking at a Tascam DA 88, but what I'd want to do is get the audio onto my computer in order to sweeten it up. Don't know how to do that. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do that? I've been told that there's something that you can buy that allows it. True? Or, would I have to stick to running it through an amp and then into the computer via RCA?
Thanks,
Ben
