RE: Converting a mountain of tapes to digital

Thank you, John! TASCAM contacted me and said their system was compatible with the Ion Tape2PC converter. I can do it this way, but if I use the speed dubbing option on the Ion machine, the TASCAM recorder cannot process it. It needs to go into a computer, but the rub is that the software the Ion runs on is too old, and so the computer I have (MacBook Air ca. 2013) does not even recognize that something is even being inputted into the machine. I am waiting to hear back from the makers of Ion Tape2PC to see if there is any piece of equipment out there that can handle the incoming data from a speed dub and convert it to a digital file. Otherwise I will be taking months of full-time work to sit there while my tapes are inputting their analog data in real time. Yikes!
Thanks again for your input!
