How to Create a Podcast From Audio Tape
How To Create Podcast Media From Audio TapeThe digital revolution has rendered many of to a state of utter confusion when it comes to dealing with older/analog audio technologies. A good number of us are still utilizing the familiar old tape deck to record our audio, but then become absolutely befuddled when it comes time to transfer that audio into the digital environment. I always get this picture in my head of my clients standing there with RCA audio cables - staring blankly at their computer - wondering how to get the audio from the source to the destination.This tutorial is meant to help out those confused masses. I will preface the tutorial by saying that this is by no means the ideal way to create podcast media. However, people should stick to what they're comfortable with. If that's audio tape - then by all means - go for it! Maybe someday you'll invest in a good MP3 recording device - but until then - it's no biggie.So - let's get started.Equipment/Hardware Needed
- Standard Audio Cassette Player. I highly recommend using a good quality walkman - for it has the ideal output port on it built in. I do not recommend using your home stereo cassette deck for this procedure - because your deck most likely has either RCA outs (absolutely no good) and a 1/4" plug (if you're lucky.)
- A 1/8" to 1/8" Mini Plug connector. You know the little plug connector that's at the end of your headphones? This cable has two of those - one on each end. You can purchase these cables at pretty much any electronics store. (If you must use your home stereo deck - and if it comes with a 1/4" plug jack - you can probably find a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter along with the cord.)
- Good sound card for your computer with an "line in" jack (looks just like the audio out jack . If you've purchased your computer within the last few years - you most likely already have an audio card sufficient for this process.) Familiarize yourself with the location of the card, and find the "line in" jack.
Software Needed
- Audio Recording Software with noise-reduction filters. I recommend Audacity - as it's free and pretty simple to use.
Once you have all of the equipment, it's time to get started.Transferring the audio from Tape to ComputerStep 1:Connect the tape deck to the computer by plugging one end of the connector cable into the headphones jack of the walkman, and the other end of the connector cable into the "line in" jack of your computer's sound card.Step 2:Install your audio processing software (Audacity.)Step 3:Launch Audacity, and look for the input pulldown menu. It's on the top right of the screen. Click the tab and select "Line In".Step 4:Adjust the volume of your walkman to be medium/low. Rewind the tape and press Play.Step 5:Press "Record" in Audacity's interface and check the levels of the audio being brought in. If the levels are too high (hot) your audio will be distorted. You will know if the audio is "hot" by if the levels trip too far to the right. If so, either adjust the volume from the walkman, or the audio input levels in the software to compensate.Step 6:After finding the perfect recording level, you're ready. Rewind the tape again. Press "record" in audacity, and press "play" on your walkman.Step 7:Review your audio. If you're happy with it, save it, and begin to tweak it with the noise reduction software.Step 8:Save your audio file as .mp3 format.
You're done!
Now your audio is ready to be included/posted to your podcast.If you need a good
podcast host
I recommend AvMyPodcast.com. They have unmetered bandwidth, great tech support, and a lot of tutorials to teach you how to
make a podcast
.Good luck!

What sort of stereo receiver should I get to use for mp3, tape deck AND a turntable? ?
Old receiver is dying after 25 years of service and I want to ge something that I can hook up an mp3 device, along with tape deck and a turntable to play records. Any thoughts? Is it just a matter of having enough auxillary inputs?
well, it depends on if your an audiophile or not. If you want to connect a turntable, then you must have a "PHONO" input because of its internal amplifier. An auxilery input would not work unless you spent the extra money to get an external amp which is not really worth it. If you want to be able to record, then your going to need a receiver with outputs to a tapedeck, one that is compatible, if you want to just play tapes (bad idea), then you could in theory use an auxilery input, but i would save that for your MP3 player. If you are on a budget, you will have to get a "middle of the road" receiver, to meet your requirements, you can't get a boombox, which I wouldn't recommend, if you want new check out Denon: http://www.denon.com/ but you should really consider going on ebay and finding vintage stereo components, they are much better than what today has to offer! hope this helped friend, remember: keep listening to those tapes and records! 
good luck
