Re: Cassette tape to laptop hardware?

You may find it useful to drag the meter toolbar out of its dock position and as wide as possible. Try turning your headphones round L/R to R/L to check that the imbalance is not in the headphones. Use the track Pan slider (left side of the track) to adjust the L/R balance. Use both the playback met...

You're not on the right part. From there, click on "Volume", then on "Device Volume > Advanced". That should bring up a "mixer" window. On the Mixer window, Click on "Options > Properties > Recording > OK" You should then see a screen similar to the one that I...
