I am transferring my cassettes to CD using Audacity. Can anyone please tell me how I can fix Audacity to allow me to listen to what is being transfered? Any help would be great!
Thank you!How do I listen to what I am transferring (Cassette to CD) on Audacity?
Your cassette player is going into the line in on your computer (at least it should be) so it should play through your computers speakers if you have selected line in as the source. This approach has nothing to do with Audacity.
To transfer tapes to CDs you need to plug a 3.5mm head phone jack that is male on both ends (you can get this at radio shack for 3 or 5 bucks) from your tape players headphone jack into the mic or line in jack on your computer, (they are usually pink/red and blue), then hit record on audacity and then play on the tape player. Go to preferences under the edit menu in Audacity and under recording in the preferences window click software play through if you want to be able to hear what you are recording, but you don't have to if you dont want to.How do I listen to what I am transferring (Cassette to CD) on Audacity?
On the preferences tab select 'software playthrough', there is a screen shot on this page:

If you were recording vocals, it can be off-putting because there can be a slight delay - should not be a problem if you are just recording a tape...How do I listen to what I am transferring (Cassette to CD) on Audacity?
