1. What computers is the Cassette2USB™ Converter compatible with?
The software is compatible with both
Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, XP and Apple Mac
OS X.
2. When I record audio from my converter, I
don’t get any sound.
1) Check the volume dial on the right side
of your cassette converter. Make sure it is
turned up to about halfway.
2) Make sure you have the correct recording
device set. In the software, click Edit ->
Preferences and set the “Recording Device”
to “USB Audio Device” or “CMI8738.”
3. How do I save my audio recordings as MP3?
After recording your audio recording, use
the File -> Export As MP3 feature inside the
software. The first time you do this, you
will be asked to locate a file called
lame_enc.dll to add this feature to the
software. Insert the CD that came with your
Cassette2USB™ Converter and locate this file
on the CD.
4. How do I burn a CD of my recorded audio
tracks?
To burn an audio CD of a cassette tape that
you’ve transferred, install the bonus
“ClearClick Audio CD Burner” software,
included on a separate CD. For further
instructions on how to use this software,
please see the manual at
http://www.clearclicksoftware.com/BurnerManual.pdf.
5. Where do the batteries for the player go?
There is a removable slot behind the door on
the converter for 2 AA batteries. You’ll
need batteries if you want to use the
Cassette2USB™ Converter as a portable tape
player.
6. How do I use the Cassette2USB™ Converter
with iTunes?
First, convert your cassette tape to WAV or
MP3 format and save it on your PC. You can
then import your recordings into iTunes and
put them on your iPod/iPad/iPhone.
7. My audio recordings don’t sound good.
1) Turn down the volume control on the
player; high volumes can cause distorted
recordings.
2) Turn down the “Recording” / “Microphone”
volume in the software.
3) Under Edit à Preferences, set “Channels”
to “2 (Stereo).”
4) If your recordings still are low quality,
it is possible that your original cassette
tape’s quality has degraded over time.
8. The software records audio correctly, but
I can’t hear anything during playback.
1) First, unplug your Cassette2USB™
Converter from your PC. Then export your
recording as a WAV or MP3 file and exit the
software. Finally, play your music in
software such as Windows Media Player or
iTunes. Note: use earbuds or headphones
(plugged into your converter) if you’d like
to listen to the music while recording.
2) Make sure you have the correct recording
device set. In the software, click Edit ->
Preferences and set the “Recording Device”
to something like “USB Audio Device” or
“CMI8738.”
9. How do I split up my recording into
individual tracks?
First, use the mouse to select a track. Do
this by clicking and dragging between the
silences (flat lines). Use the “Zoom In/Out”
tool if necessary.
Then, click File -> “Export Selection As
WAV” or “Export Selection As MP3.” Select a
location such as the Music (or My Music)
folder inside the My Documents folder.
Repeat the process for the remaining tracks
that are recorded. When finished you may
exit Audacity and say “no” when asked to
save the file.
10. Is there a way to make the audio
transfer faster?
Transfers must be done at normal speed. This
is because the Cassette2USB™ Converter
records the actual audio that is emitted by
the player.
11. My recording is too fast or too slow.
1) Try loosening your cassette tape’s reel
by fast forwarding/rewinding the tape
several times.
2) Are you trying to convert a special
“long-play mode” cassette tape? The
Cassette2USB™ Converter supports standard
speed cassettes only.
