Thanks very much guys for all the information. I'll keep having a look at what's been said. I haven't got a fortune to spend, i might be able to stretch to £300. Why can you buy one monitor on it's own and some as a pair?

Hello, I'm about to attempt recording music again, this may well be the last time I try. I've only ever added some guitar and keyboard parts to an already existing track for my friend which sounded OK to us. I've never recorded anything from scratch that I've finished and I don't actually...

What do you think about these machines that transfer vinyl and cassette to CD? A family member has just had one for Christmas I could use if they're any good.

Can you suggest a proper deck and roughly how much would it cost please? The two tapes are old, recorded around 1987, not on my deck. They are TDK D60 and AD60 and belong to a mate of mine.

Thanks for the useful info. I'll look into getting a cable and just chance it, I don't imagine it'll be very costly. I'll report back later. Cheers.

Hello, Is it possible to use the tape deck on a Technics Hi-fi (SC-EH760) and transfer some old cassette demos to my PC? I have a Saffire Pro24 pre-amp and use Live 9. Can it be done and what else would I need please? Thank you. iggystooge

Just to do a quick update, the cable arrived and after a lot of messing about I got it working. I went from the Monitor Headphone Socket on the Grundig, then the black and white RCA's into a Jack adapter into the pre amp. I set the grundig tone control to speaker. There seems to be significant...

Thanks for the help guys. I've ordered the cable today. I've been listening to some of the old tape and found some great recordings of my grandfather whose voice i'd never heard before. Unfortunately the sound quality is pretty bad, very crackly and hissing and breaking up at times. Is this...

Here's the link 1M 6.35MM JACK TO 5 PIN DIN PLUG B&O NAIM AUDIO CABLE LEAD STEREO DJ AMPLIFIER | eBay Can you confirm this is what I need please?

There is a cable on Ebay described as 1M 6.35MM JACK TO 5 PIN DIN PLUG B&O NAIM AUDIO CABLE LEAD STEREO DJ AMPLIFIER. I cant get the picture of it to show on here. Am I allowed to post a link to it on here?

Hello all, What I'm hoping to do is to transfer some old recordings from a Grundig TK140 Reel to Reel recorder while the tape is still good. I use Ableton Live 9 and have a Saffire Pro 24 pre-amp I use to record guitar and vocals. Can I connect the TK140 to my pc using the pre-amp and if so...

Sorry I misunderstood you. It's most important we retain the singers vocal. Everything else can be replaced really. I agree its not a very good recording, you should hear some of the other tracks. :D

I'm not sure who played what on that track. There is 13 tracks altogether, some covers, some originals written by my friend (rhythm guitar), the lead guitarist and the bass player. The singer wasn't in the band (he wasn't really a singer) but he liked the idea of recording an album with his mates.
