Does macbook air 2020 have line in?
OK, so, I am literally speaking totally blind. I use Voiceover exclusively, so have no vision to see printed emblems on the chassis of my mac, so forgive me.
I currently have a 2020 macbook air 13 inch silicon gold color which was bought just this last April, so definitely the very newest model macbook air out there.
On the right side of the system, if I start closest to the screen, and slowly trail my hand back toward myself, I feel an 8th inch audio jack. I know that jack definitely works for 8th inch headphones, as I have done it several times. However, I know on a few macs I've had previously, the one individual audio jack served as either a headphone jack, or, if you set it in system preferences, it also could function as a line in jack.
So, I have a few cassette tapes I want to digitize. We could go into the whole subject of USB would sound better for this than a line annalog signal, but please let's not go down that rabbit trail. Please just answer me straight up staying on topic with my question with all due respect.
So, anyway, I'm just wondering if this particular model system can function as that jack performing as a line input instead of an output. I called and asked Apple directly, but even a teer 2 senior advisor wasn't really sure. ONe could say, just try. I can't though as if it defaults to headphones, then as soon as I plug something into it, I lose speech from Voiceover, and since I can't see the screen to go look after plugging in a patch cable, well... there went that idea.
So yeah, I'd rather get a very definite answer yes or no, if anyone happens to know for absolute certain. Please don't assume. I'd rahter get a solid answer if anyone knows.
Sorry to be a bit blunt in this message. I'm not that way normally, but I just wanna be sure before trying to unhook things and move my equipment all around this room only then to find I waisted x amount of time doing so only to find it won't work. Basically, it'll just be a gold tip TRS stereo 8th inch patch cable on both ends. ONe in the mac, the other in the line out of the cassette deck. I've got software to actually record. Reaper is amazing! So that's not an issue.
