As per title, want to convert my old seduction, fantazia tapes to mp3 files as at the moment their no bloody use to me sitting in a box!!!
Anyone have any ideas how to do it??

I plugged the output phonos of my cassette deck to the input jack of my soundcard and just recorded them. I think I used Nero, but I can't really remember beyond saying I never had any of these converter boxes you see advertised.

i am in the process of doing this myself, i either go straight from tapedeck output to sound card or i go through the amp

get yourself either cool edit or adobe audition (same thing) they are great for recording

so far i have done 2 tapes and they sound great, i have done

fantazia 2nd birthday - slipmatt
dreamscape 8 - dougal/ltj bukem

I'm on a laptop so dont think i can go straight to sound card, go through an amp?
Would a laptop take an input through the headphone jack? Prob silly question!

Stavros

awesome! i used to spend all my pocked money on Fantazia and Obsession tapes when I was 11-15, had fucking millions of em, and then like a dick, soon as i went off it, binned em

Now I love it more than ever

I dont think ive ever gone off it, it turned shit bout '96 may be a little before then actually but still love the old skool - mk1 escort in orange, a sub, sony cassette head unit + 2 6x9's a bit of swan-e, bukem or early hype and I was sorted....when I was 17 mind!

Stavros

Thats the thing, was mint early and mid 90s, got properly rubbish about 95ish, binned em off, and regretted it ever since

If using a desktop I suggest the use of a PCI sound card - when i tried using the on board sound card i was getting alot of noise

if you could upload the mp3's when done, I would appreciate it... I love oldskool almost as much as Drum and Bass..

I remember an old tape I had, Fantazia in Scotland, was a Seduction tape.. loved it, but chucked it fuck sake!
