Instructions
Step 1
Determine the adapters necessary for recording audio tapes to disc, look at the back wall of your music center. Find the nests there, near them there is an inscription "Line In". In audio equipment, the RCA type is usually used, for this, use a special stereo adapter, which starts on one side with a pair of RCA connectors to connect to the music center, and on the other end there is a mini-jack connector for connecting to a computer. The external sound card uses different types of jacks, so purchase a dedicated audio adapter for them.

Right-click on the recording indicator field, select the Monitor Record Level line. Play the tape. Rewind the cassette to the beginning, press Ctrl + Space to start digitizing the audio cassette
