Converting cassette tapes with Audio Record Wizard
Do you remember cassette tapes? They had a certain charm, didn't they? The slight clunking noise when you first turned on the tape player, and the quaint way in which you actually had to turn the tape around when one side had finished. They were brilliant, too - it was so easy to record music from the radio, or make a copy of a friend's tape. And unlike those bulky LPs, you could take cassette tapes with you wherever you went.
Nowadays, though, cassette tapes are more or less obsolete - but if you've hung on to yours, then you know that the music you recorded is still there. And some of it can be quite rare. But how often do you get around to listening to it? These days, CD players and MP3 players are much more common , but if you want to listen to your tapes, you need to convert them into digital audio files first.
Here's the good news: if you are interested in converting your old cassette tapes to audio, Audio Record Wizard is the software you need. In order to make the most of your cassette tape collection, you can convert them all into digital files, quickly and painlessly:
Step 1: Connect the left and right Audio Out or earphone jacks to the "Line In" jack on your sound card.
Step 2: Open the Audio Record Wizard, and select "Line-in" or the equivalent as the recording device.
Step 3: Adjust the Recording Volume Level as required.
Step 4: Click the Add/New Button to choose an audio file, or choose a new audio file name. Audio Record Wizard will record sounds directly into this file.
Step 5: Click the Record Button to begin recording.
This same process can be used to record from many other external media devices, including keyboards, TV, Radio and more. You can easily save the recordings in the format of your choice - MP3, WAV or Ogg Vorbis.
