Can I transfer music from a cassette to Deepburner, to be burned onto a CD?

Answer 1

Looks like deepburner is a CD writing program, you need something that can convert and analogue signal (old skool cassette, vinyl etc...) into digital format first. I had a look at Deepripper, but that appears to only convert from CD format to other digital formats not analogue. There is other software that can do the job, some free, some cheap - here is how it is done:
You will need a cassette player (!), PC with a stereo input to soundcard, conversion software, CD writer.
Note: if you are using a laptop, you may need a USB external soundcard (mine has only a mono mic input – not good enough!) – you can get cheap, simple but effective ones (from Hong Kong) via ebay…
The software is probably the thing you really want to know about.. you will find loads out there. Personally I use Magix Audio Cleaning Lab – primarily for lifting vinyl, but will take any analogue signal. It has loads of features including cleaning filters, effects and editing… it’s cheap and includes a stereo cable – try ebay. There are loads more, some even free downloads – listen to folks who have used the software then have a go….
I recommend highlighting the tracks you want from your tapes rather than doing everything. Oh yeah, and Magix has automatic track recognition based on silence between tracks and auto-stop recording so you can go out for the day and it will stop at the end of your tape – really useful!! You will use up loads of hard-drive space, so don’t try this if you are pushed for space…You may need to purge the huge files every so often (10MB per minute WAV files, 1MB per minute MP3). You could save some space recording directly into MP3 at the sacrifice of a little sound quality.
Once you have converted your tape to digital format, you could then use deepburner to get it onto a CD, but the conversion software may well be able to do this job for you anyway (certainly the Magix software does) rendering the deepburner software surplus to requirments....
If you want someone else to do the conversion for you, there are plenty of websites such as: www.cassette2cd.co.uk who can do the job hassle-free for you!
Hope this helps
