Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

[Herr Dunkel]

Hello everyone,

I recently found an old box of cassettes containing various radio shows (AM and FM broadcasts) that I recorded in the 90s. Some of those recordings are interviews with Jean-Michel Jarre (in French), as per the index I conveniently wrote on a piece of paper and stored with the tapes at the time. I plan to transfer the tapes to digital files to save the recordings, probably this summer. Would anyone be interested in those files when I am done?

Also, if anyone has any advice on how to transfer tapes to computer (preamp, level adjustment, recording tool, bit rate, etc.) that would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Hi i know that you can buy a usb tape player / walkman that you can connect to your pc and record the tape with a recording software, I bought one of them a while ago and it works fine.
i use it together with magix audio cleaning lab that i configured to record in lossless flac format


or if you have an tape recorder you can connect the output of it and connect it to the pc's soundcard input with a cable like this


i hope that this could help

When you are done, I'd be very glad to have your files on the Database.

Hi everyone,

I know summer has been over for a while now. I still haven't converted my old tapes. I've been side-tracked by so many personal problems that I haven't even started checking the tapes. Been a little too optimistic about my "free" time. I just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten. At this point I may have the tapes done by the end of the year, but don't hold your breath. Thanks for your interest.

Cheers,
