I want to record vinyl records and tape cassettes to my mac. I know I can use the quicktime player,
but what type of cables do I need to hook up to the in line on my mac?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Google phonograph to computer, you'll find a ton of stuff.
Tape cassettes - easiest way is tape machine headphone jack to Mac Line in socket with a standard mini phono plug (3.5mm)
Vinyl records - depends on the player. Most ordinary record players will need a pre-amp to use with the line-in socket. Cables required will be dictated by the particular equipment.
You can get USB record decks built for the purpose.
QuickTime will do the job, but I use Audacity for more versatility with editing, noise reduction etc.
(It's free)
What cables do I need to record a tape cassette onto my hard drive?
