Hi: My dad has a USB tape deck. On the Windows side, he says he has to listen to the tape while it is recording, and watch a timer on the screen. Then at specific points, he has to create tracks. I want to be able to record on my Mac using his USB tape deck, and figure out how to edit the tracks later. That way, I could get all of the tapes on the Mac. once those are physically there, I can then go edit later. I'm just not sure how you'd do this, or know when to make the track. Once everything is edited, I'd like to convert the files to MP3. On Feb 5, 2012, at 6:20 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote:
