Copy tapes on your computer..

Dear friends in computer land. Do any of you know how I can copy old tapes onto my computer. Can I connect my laptop to my stereo through my stereo's headphone jack? If so what cord do I need ? etc

Parts required:

1. a 3.5mm (1/8-inch) male-male stereo audio cable, or a male-male headphone cable with an added female-male 3.5mm plug
2. a free download of software from here
3. a sound card with a Microphone input

Once you download the the freeware from the above site attach your cable from the player to the Microphone input or even better if you have a "line in"on your sound card. Next, boot the software and make sure that the device selector is set to line in or Microphone. then set the Channel selector to stereo.

The software is very easy to navigate from here. Just make sure you only record a 10-15 second clip so that you can check your volume level to make sure your not getting alot of static and popping. Also make sure you set the Export File to .wav Ltter you can burn the file to CD or DVD. There is a noise reduction setting in the software but try the doing the 10-15 second clip with reducing the sound level first.

If you have any old sound device LP, 8-track ect. you can add it to your computer in the same way. This is what it means to digitally remaster something.

Hope this helps you get it all saved.
