USB tape deck

I got my USB tape Deck. the good thing about Zazz being based in Melb is that it doesn't take five to seven working days for products to get to us, as it says on the site.
And, unbelievably, i quickly worked out how to get a tape in and get it playing. Basically we put the tape in length ways with the tape part to the left and it just plays; it has rewind and fastforward, and to stop it we just eject the tape; seems easy to use. I am so not use to being able to figure out technology these days; I use to be great at it before everything became digital and menu driven, but fortunately this is not!
Next step of course is to find where the USB cable plugs into the unit and record using sound forge. these things come with audasity but I only know soundforge, so am sure we can use it with that. I wonder if we still need to configure the puter volume controls or if it just works; will figure that one out.
Well, no guide dog people yet; guess she did say 2.30 after all! :)
til Next time, RdFreak

strangely when I checked mine it only seems to have play, stop and fast-forward, to rewind a tape you flip it over fast forward then flip it back around. a lot of AC-hum in the amp, wonder if that makes it to the usb output we shal see. yes take deck will work with forge, just set preferred audio device before you start for recording.

yeh you're right; I had just presumed it may have rewind as well; hadn't checked that bit out.Going to try today :)
