when recording something on Audacity don’t I have to choose some sort of input?

Yes. Select "USB Audio CODEC".
Note that you should connect the device before launching Audacity.

It also occurred to me that I could use Paralells to run the Windows version of Audacity.

Better to use the native Mac version. Macros are the same in both.

Ahh, thank you, I overlooked that command.

Let us know if you get it working, or need more help

So what you’re saying is: if I connect the UCA-202 between the cassette recorder and the laptop, that a “line in” option will show up in the Audacity task bar?

On my Mac Mini, a UCA-202 shows up as "USB Audio CODEC".
Note that you should connect the device before launching Audacity.

I did a quick eBay search for a UCA-202 and found several. Is this what I need? That's the device. I think that the European retailer "Thomann" now have a US website that can ship Behringer products to the US at reasonable prices. (They are Europe's biggest retailer of musical equipment).

It's not the most obvious feature as there is no menu command for it, but there is a tool-tip if you hover the mouse pointer over the Timeline (time ruler) for a few seconds. It's very rare that we remove a feature from Audacity without offering an alternative (usually a "better" alternati...

OK, I can see a definite problem here, especially when high quality is NOT selected. I think that's just a limitation of the SoundTouch algorithm. The algorithm is based on "synchronized overlap-add" (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_time_stretching_and_pitch_scaling#SOLA) and is ...

ACX Check seems to work only for tracks (or selected segments) up to about 20 minutes long.

You need the updated version of ACX Check for Audacity 2.4.2. Get it here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyqui ... #ACX_Check

There was some data corruption in track 3 somewhere around 2:30. I had to remove a short section from that track to be able to export a mix.
I've uploaded the export here (mind the adverts, it's an ad supported service) https://www.sendspace.com/file/06h3c3
16-bit WAV format, 112.91MB

I'm not sure what you are wanting to do, but you can pause by pressing "P".
