Record cassettes to digital?


Hi all!

I have a couple cassettes I would like to get onto a CD-R if possible. What do I need to do this? I have a separate phono preamp but I'm not sure I should be using that in the mix.

Thanks in advance!

You only need to hook up your cassette deck to a stereo amp or receiver. No phono preamp needed. You can buy a stand alone CD recorder and connect it to the receiver or amp or if yo have say a lap top computer you can typically add it to a stereo and record to it say using AUDACITY (free software) then you can edit o you computer and burn a CDR.
Thanks for the reply!

I should have been more specific. I'm wanting to download/record the cassettes to my Mac Mini and from there I can burn a CD-R.

Will I need any specific cabling?

I do use an Arcam rDAC with the Mac Mini. I plug that into my Odyssey Candela. Will I need to use the rDAC when I record to the Mac Mini?

The Audacity software is the way to go?
