Unfortunately, I have no tape players (3 out of three) that don't hum when on mains power, and speed is not reliable when running on batteries. One has to pay more attention to the level meters and the 'track' can look pretty small when it is actually just right. (After buying a phono to jack lead, I later found the 'video' one from my camera was actually better!)įirst issue was with the recording volume: the spectrogram tempting one to fill the channel, when in fact this is much too loud. I have a mains/battery tape player with phono output, and am taking this to the microphone jack socket of the laptop. Thanks for any helpful pointers - certainly the little 'walkman sized' converters look tempting if they are any good and can be trusted.Ī bit further down the line I am having some fiddly issues with Audacity and audio tapes. (Most of what I would be copying is speech from old radio progs, and a background hum is particularly intrusive in that case.) Or should I buy one of these small dedicated converter decks/players: and if so, which should I be considering, and are there any that I should avoid? Is it best to carry on as I was going to, and hope that the hum/motor noise from the stereo will not be digitised or could be filtered out? That has me wondering what is the best way to make the conversion? Having not done any tape dubbing for a while, when I did a straight tape to tape copy, I was quite aware that a background hum from the system itself had been recorded. I had been about to start converting using Audacity and a jack lead from my ordinary old 'stereo all in one'.
I notice that since last I looked at this problem there seems to be a range of purpose made cassette tape to mp3 converters available.
