Tapes are easy, get a cassette player of any kind with a headphone jack, jack that into your PC's 3.5mm hole, and use Tenacity (audacity bad now, tenacity good fork) to record side A and B into two tracks which you can later split up into individual songs if need be. The Super 8 camcorder however idk, that sounds more difficult than audio tapes lol!
But scanning photos? Just get a Brother laser printer/scanner combo and scan them hoes yourself!
In related news does anyone know of a good photo printer? I have to go the other way and make my digitals into physicals! I could go to a pharmacy still I think but it'd be cool if I could do it myself.
Thanks! I do have several cassette players, including the one my grandmother recently used to listen to these same tapes. I assumed the process is similar to what you laid out but have yet to get my system set up for said conversion.
And for the photos, I'm already planning that too. I have a stand alone scanner but know it's a very tedious process from past personal scanning projects, and I have a tote full of I scanned photos. Maybe I'll task my oldest with it later this year I'm her "down time" lol.
I'm currently looking for a good laser printer myself, if I get my hands on one I'll pass the deets to you.
Brother laser printers are the move for sure, but as for photo printers I'm at a loss.
Hell, Brother probably makes one now that I think about it, hmm...
I have an HP multi function that can print on multiple types of paper, including cardstock, photo and glossy magazine. I've made reprinted NES instruction booklets on it even. I know everyone says "HP Bad", but they are all making the toner move. I accidentally updated my dad's Epson color inkjet printer and it started complaining about his black ink cartridge. Lesson learned, just don't update firmware on ANY brand and block their update servers at your router if possible.
Oh for sure lol, never update it, I usually don't give printers access to the network anyway, I'll just use a cable! I'll check out that HP, thanks!
