Recording Cassette
Does anyone know a reliable combo recorder,with ability to transfer cassette recording to cd?
It's for a church! All help will be much appreciated! Thanks!
Don't do it... we used a CD recorder in our church, and it proved to be useless for longer analogue signals, though I'm sure it works fine for copying CD's (digital signal).
I have three suggestions for you:
1) simply convert the cassette on your PC - see below:
Put simply, you will need to connect your cassette player to your PC soundcard, then play the cassette whilst recording on your PC. A step-by-step guide is available at:

(follow the link to ‘Cassette to CD‘)
The recording software is the key, there are some free software downloads available at:
http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/downloads.p...
I have used ‘Magix Audio Cleaning Lab’ and ‘Audacity’ – Audacity is particularly popular since it is free!
If you record to WAV format, expect file sizes of around 10MB per minute, or 1MB per minute for MP3 (at 128kbps).
Once you have your digital versions of the recording on your PC, simply burn them on to a CD (Nero burning software or similar..). If you use Magix Audio Cleaning, the software will burn an audio CD for you without needing additional software (assuming you have a CD writing drive of course!)
You will need the additional 'lame_enc.dll' file to export into MP3 - this can also be downloaded from the free software page.
You can also download a free PDF version of the step-by–step guide from the download page mentioned above, the guide is complete with diagrams and screen-shots.
2) record straight onto a DVD recorder with hard disk - you may need to provide a video input too - this is what we do in our church, the DVD works much better for recording analogue signals.
3) record straight onto a MP3 recorder (ie. straight out of your church mixing desk the same as you were doing with your tape) I know a few churches that do this now.
