... can "read" the tape deck, with the RCA cord. So my next questions would have to do with how to set the Rec levels. Thanks for your help

... in text mode only --- no music, no singing, no instrucments, no double tracks for any reason -- only one person reading very boring news. Please help me with this issue: In Audacity I wish to cut a chunk of Waveform from one track and paste it into another, just as if the two tracks were different ...

You can close Audacity for a while. It gets its sound from the Mac. If the Mac can't find the player (System Preferences), that's the end of the story.

I'm back from the bank. I mean I'm back from shopping. I figured out the graph. Note the Size setting on yours is 512 and mine is 16384.

I'm fascinated that your spectrum analysis doesn't look anything like mine. It's rough to tell you to make corrections when we're not looking at the same thing. I need to go away for a while. I'm typing this on a dead run on the way out to the car. Are you using Audacity 2.1.0? Yes, I just checked ...

Koz, could you please look at my graph in the file attached below--does it look okay? That is, within parameters for an audio book? Thank you for the graphic. We can't tell directly from the graphic. That's just a confirmation that your corrections seemed to go OK. We have to run tests on your samp...
