digitalizing tapes

Audacity Help Forum Windows

I want to digitalize cassette tapes. Everything is fine, but while digitalizing I cannot hear anything. In the handbook it is mentioned that one has to activate this eature. However I cannot find it.

I have downloaded version 3.1.3 just a few days ago.

Thanks in advance, Wolfgang

You need to turn on Software Playthrough in Transport > Transport Options

Alternatively you can use Preferences > Recording to make the same setting.

You should find this set of Tutorials useful: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_copying_tapes_lps_or_minidiscs_to_cd.html

and this suggested workflow: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/sample_workflow_for_tape_digitization.html
