How to have the best sound quality?
Use an outside wall charger (not included) or 2 AA batteries to power the cassette player while recording. Be sure to keep it away from your computer monitor or other electronics while you are using it. If it’s turned a certain way near a monitor, noise will come through on your transfer. By moving 4-5 ft away from PC area the issue cleared completely.Depending on the age and quality of your cassette tape, you may hear background air or something that sounds like a hum. The reason is the actual “tape” is magnetic and looses it’s strength over time. This does not mean the cassette player is faulty. But, with Audacity you can remove background noise and that’s a major plus.Use the option in Audacity to monitor audio as it’s playing, and experiment with volume setting. If you set the volume on max on the player, it will introduce more noise. Lower it until the loudest sound only reaches about 75% in the wavelength window. That’s a good audio setting for mastering in a studio, and the same applies hereIf you are using a Mac computer, once you connect the cassette via USB, click apple symbol on computer left hand side, system preference, click sound and on drop down box set it to USB input. Load Audacity, and do the same setting up the settings from inline microphone to USB. Otherwise the Audacity will not recognize the cassette when you press play and record on Audacity even though you have it connected to computer via USB port.
