Review on Capture Editing Software Cassette Recorder by Lamar Vanderburg

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple, easy, works immediately!

My Tascam US-144MKII has been "locked" by Tascam due to recent Mac updates so I can no longer use it. So I need to digitize my old audio cassettes. I already have a Sony Walkman Professional with a good line signal. I have read a number of reviews and it seems that people are rating this item lower because they rely on free recording software like Audacity which is not compatible with Catalina. But I don't use Audacity. I have been using SoundStudio for many years. I also use GarageBand so I had a backup. I plugged this device into my iMac's USB (it's old enough that it has USB2.0 ports), the other end into my Walkman, hit record and the line level works fine. True plug and play. No drivers need to be installed. It's like a new sound. And that thing is cheap! Very important!

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Annoying
