Sorry if this is such a basic question, but I have a number of old cassette tapes that I'd like to archive to CDs before they deteriorate completely. How can I capture the audio to my Cube OSX 10.2 without spending a great deal of money? I have a Roland Edirol UA-1A which I've never used...

If you've got the UA-1A, that's all you need to get the audio into your Mac - provided Edirol have issued OS X drivers for it. My guess is that they haven't yet. I've got a UA-5 and there still aren't any OS X drivers for that. Coming soon...
Once you finally get the drivers, I'd suggest getting something like Sound Studio 2.0 from Felt Tip Software. Pretty good audio editing app, OS X native, $40 shareware, very nice and easy to use. You just hit play on your tape deck, record the audio in Sound Studio and then clean it all up afterwards. |

Thanks much for that info. I downloaded Sound Studio and it worked like a dream. Still using it on a 14 day demo mode but will definately pay the bucks after the time is up.
The UA-1A works perfectly with OSX.2. Don't need any drivers at all. Just select "Sound" from system preferences then "input" and the UA-1A is there for you to select. It's as easy as that. |
