Hi all, I'm trying to digitize audio off of a microcassette cassette recorder onto a Powerbook G4 using Audacity.
Should be simple as hell, right? Well, I've spent the past 6 hours trying to do this, and I'm totally frustrated. Google also proved useless. So I'm turning to the wise minds in this group. I would have expected several options in Audacity Preferences to select from. But there's only one: Audacity Preferences Audio I|O Recording Device: Built-in Audio This lets me record live sounds, but nothing else. I have a 1/8" jack running from the recorder's "Ear" (headphone) jack to the G4's headphone jack. So: how do I record sound off an attached device? I had the same problem last year, and an Audacity rep wrote back: >This is a limitation of the mac audio controls - there isn't a way to choose inputs from within an application. You will need to use Apple's Sound and Midi Setup utility to choose the Line input as the system default. >You may also have to select the correct audio device on the Audio I/O tab of the preferences. Well, I don't even see a Sound and Midi Setup utility in Tiger, and the Midi Setup utility offers no choice of a Line input. Arrrgh! Thanks for any help! I need to do this on Sunday. jd lasica ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> 1.2 million kids a year are victims of human trafficking.
