Just thought I'd post a picture of my recording studio in case any of you wanted to go into the business professionally and were looking for pointers on studio setup.

I came into possession of a few audiobooks on cassette (260+ hours of them!) and needed to turn them into MP3 files so I could put them into my empeg.




The tape deck is the original radio out of the ShoWagon, with wires soldered to the L/R channel outputs and terminated with a 1/8" min-plug jacked into my sound card. Power comes from the 12 volt motorcycle battery I use when I have the empeg on my bicycle. The battery charger is only plugged in between cassettes when battery voltage falls below 11.5 volts (two much 60-cycle hum otherwise) and the multi-meter keeps track of voltage for me.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rush or Rolling Stones or some other big group decided to produce their next album using my facilities.

Nice.

Speaking of cassette to MP3, anyone tried one of these things yet?

Apparently the collective noun is a "mound" of ...oh sorry...Koontz, you say

Wow that looks just like the car stereo I got in my Ford Orion, it lasted the whole journey home from the dealers before I installed an MD deck instead. Is it a VFD display? Mine was LCD, but other than that they're identical.

Last time I recorded my PC files on cassette was with the Sinclair ZX81! Surely anyone with a collection of cassettes is going to turn them into MP3's using their current cassette deck and sound card, until they've finished the project.

Am I missing the point or is this a totally pointless product???
