Re: Recording from a source other than LP's, tapes, etc.
I submitted the following to Forum late last evening, and since i don't see it in the postings today, I'm repeating it for your convenience: Well, I went to the Wiki site you mentioned but it just says use the appropriate °stereo mix or similar input source on the Audacity mixer toolbar dropdown sel...

Recording from a source other than LP's, tapes, etc.
I have Audacity 1.3.12; and Windows XP on my desktop computer. I have successfully recorded to CD several cassette tapes of Frank Sinatra songs and now have a good library of all his well known songs EXCEPT New York, New York, and I really want to include it on a half filled disk. I've found a good ...

Re: Converting cassette tapes to audio CD
Sorry - I apologize on two counts - I didn't realize there was page 2 of the postings - now I see several that I missed before. Also, I didn't read carefully enough Steve's posting Feb. 13 7.02 p.m. in which he explained how to move the cursor for example to near the end of a song to get close to wh...

Re: Converting cassette tapes to audio CD
To Wax Cylinder Sorry to be so dense, but I'm still not clued in. I've scoured the tutorials and the manual, but there's no reference to the things I need to do. 1. I've marked the end of a song group, about five minutes of recording, using CTRL-B. It put a red flag at the spot. Then I realize the m...

Re: Converting cassette tapes to audio CD
Thank you, Wax Cylinder. We're getting somewhere. By the way - first job I had after getting out of college in 1949 was in the Westinghouse office, and I had to write letters by dictation, using a Dictaphone. And what did the Dictaphone have as recording media? You guessed it - a wax cylinder . . . ...

Re: Converting cassette tapes to audio CD
I never said I have a laptop. I have a pretty standard desktop with Windows XP. The problem is not with handling the signal - that part is fine. I see the tracks on the screen as it is recording. The problem is how to handle the 463 files that Audacity makes, each one about 12 seconds. Please re-rea...

Converting cassette tapes to audio CD
All I want to do is convert all my good old cassette tapes to audio CDs. Nothing fancy. I need a simple cookbook for step-by step instructions. So far I've connected my cassette player thru a small amplifier/mixer and thence to the Mic input to my computer (Win XP), and Audacity takes over. I unders...
