cassette tape recording problems

[Big Wang Bandit]

I’m trying to transfer a CD to a cassette tape, and its really bugging me.

I’m working with my home theater setup.

I had it going from my cd player, to the tape players in jacks, then from the in jacks, to the preamp so I could monitor.

And it would only record on the right track. as opposed to stereo(left and right)

What is the way I should be doing this?

I need to have this tape by tomorrow afternoon :X

what is a cassette?

Simple solution..... Go to store... buy deck with iPod plug in... buy iPod and iTunes card...

make sure your cable is stero , not mono
also , if you have it run into a mixer , make sure the sound is not panned into 1 channel .
in your case, the right channel

If the deck is old, the heads may need cleaning. I'm thinking of transferring my library to 8 tracks. I just got a sweet recorder, just need to find some blanks.

I tried to clean the head. I'm almost certin it must of ben a bad cable or something of the sort. Or I just have really crummy luck.

[Big Wang Bandit]

I made this for a girl

records are the shit for richness of sound, but tapes....... ummmmm.... there's a reason you can't find 4track cassett tape recorders new anymore, and thank god.... I'll never touch another 4track cassett tape.

records are ok, but its not worth it because records cost so much more than any other media, and because of their indie value collectors snag up all the good stuff.

I can play music thru my answering machine at my house and record it, it sounds like a record.

 

[4U2QUIK]

lol, records only sound like "records" when you don't have a quality player, and roached records. I had a wrechord, pressed about ten years ago, nothing sounds as good with the exception of the master which was on a 16 track reel to reel. Nothing, and I mean nothing sounds as good as a modern, quality, reel to reel.

I have a lot of phonographs. I love them all, dearly, but I just don't care for record collecting anymore.
