Tapes to CDs

Is there a way to copy tapes to cds from my sterio to the cd burner. :hotbounce

you will need to record the tape onto your computer first, then burn to cd. there are some good freeware/shareware programs out there for this. try a google search.

Hey thanks a lot I didn't know it chould be done. :grinthumb

Yeah, you'll want to connect your tape player to the Soundcard's Line-In & use whatever recording program you've got for capturing it.

Look for Magix Audio Cleaning Lab 2005 Deluxe. Includes even a cable and an adapter for the recording. Easy as pie. Can also record direct from vinyl without a preamp!

Before this I had Steinberg Clean, but that was too complicated (for me) and too much hard work.

Thanks for the help guys I fond some freeware to use.

I got a problem now I installed the software and installed the cable from my sterio to my sound card line in, and I can't record anything. Am I doing something wrong? :bounce:

you might need to check volume controls and make sure you have your recording settings right. make sure line-in is the recording source, etc

What do you mean. :suspiciou

ok go to your volume controls on the taskbar, go to the options tab, click on properties. click on recording, make sure the line-in box is checked (or whatever source you are going to record from. also, in your program that you are using, make sure the settings for recording are correct. what is the name of your program? if it's free liek you said i'll check it out. i have some vinyl to convert to cd.

This is the freeware.http://www.ezaudiorecorder.com/download.htm I get some noise if I record from the mic but that is it. :hotbounce

ok i just dl'ed it.. it LOOKS simple but thats not always the case, hehe. ok make sure the SOURCE you select for recording is the same source your cord is plugged into. make sure the source you choose is not muted, and is the default recording source in volume controls, etc.

also, tell me about the tape player? how exactly are you connecting it to your computer, i.e. , what jack on the tape player to what jack on the comp, etc.

I have done all that, its pluged in to the headphone jack. :hotbounce

hmmm i dunno whats wrong then. maybe try another program if you cant this one to work. there are lots out there.

i think he meant the headphone jack on the tape player.

I have tried some uther programs and they don't work ether. I have it plug into the headphone jack on the tape player and the line-in jack on the sound card. :hotbounce

I have to line-outs but I'll try the one I have tried adjusting the volume but that doesn't work. :hotbounce

dopefisher could you get the program to work. :hotbounce
