What I mean is, will there be any problems using the speaker jacks and
a RCA "Y" cable, or do I need some other "line outs" on my
stereo/cassette player? I just talked to my Dad about that and he
seems to think there might be a problem using the speaker jacks. I
don't wanna overload anything or do anything dangerous.
The speaker jacks are not optimal but you could use them. Ideally what you
want is RCA-style line level outputs from your tape deck (any dedicated tape
deck will have them) to hook to the iMic or microphone jack. If you use the
speaker jacks, you'll have more distortion/noise because you'll be going
through the amplifier in your system. There is a chance of "overloading" but
only if you turn up the volume on your stereo too far.
Personally, I wouldn't use the speaker jacks just because of the noise.
You should use the RCA outputs on the stereo - best if there is a tape selection, but you could use any of the sound outputs to the Mac recording.
