Re: [Avid-L2] Audio Cassette Ingestion

Two parts:

Analog to Digital to get it into your computer? The least expensive and
fairly wonderful answer I've found is the Behringer UFO202. $30 from
Sweetwater. In addition to doing what you want it gives you 2 big bonus
features. It has a phono (5mV) input with RIAA correction so you can
digitize your vinyl collection. And, it also works as a D to A
converter so you can feed the output from the USB port on your computer
into your analog whatever. No one would even think of guessing that
they are listening to a $30 plug and play product.

Recording the digital signal once it's in your computer. Audacity. It's
free.

But I don't have ProTools and I've got a MacPro 17" laptop and MC 8.3, etc., etc. I've got a mixer, but no other I/O. Does anyone have an efficient clever way to digitize these audio cassettes directly into the computer (not necessarily directly into MC), preferably at 24 bit?
