Cassette Man Mac OS
First connect the cassette player to the Mac. How you do this depends on what output your cassette player has (1/3' mini plug or RCA stereo cables), and what input your Mac has (Line-in? USB only?). Get the cable with the correct plugs for both ends.
I recently digitized an old audio cassette tape to my computer and made a MP3 file. In this video, I’ll show you how I did it. First, I purchased a Reshow US. The Apple I BASIC cassette wasn’t even included with all of the 200 Apple Is produced eons ago, but a few engineering souls have managed to extract the data and create an MP3 of the wave structure. Not surprisingly, the tone resembles that of a 1200 Baud connection, and if we should say so ourselves, would make for a wicked ringtone. Any standard cassette recorder will work. Plug tape out into the mic jack and tape in to the ear jack. Apple II does not use the remote switch at all, the important thing is to find the correct volume setting to get reliable read/write. Applesoft and integer BASIC both use SAVE and LOAD to access a cassette.
After connecting the cable, play a cassette. If you can't hear it in the Mac, you will need to make sure GarageBand is set to use the connected audio interface (analog or USB) for input. If you are doing it correctly, playing a cassette should show up in the GarageBand level meter on the track that is armed to record. As with any recording, you might have to adjust the output level of the player or the input level in GarageBand to set a strong signal that isn't clipping.
After recording you can clean up the track in GarageBand, export it and burn it to CD. I actually use other software (not GarageBand), so I don't know the details in GarageBand.
