Is it possible to transfer 4track cassette tapes to the pc? do I need a specific piece of software or am I dreaming?
 
4 track tape cassettes?

Isnt that a normal cassette tape?

I used some really cheap recording software. Went out my tape deck via RCA conx, then converted that to stereo 1/8 inch in (avail at radio shack) into the line in/ mic on my pc. Just tell the recording software which input you are using.

If its a tape from a 4 track recorder and you tried playing it back on a normal tape deck, it probably will play back very slowly and at a much lower pitch. You may need to bring it back up to speed and pitch using some software. Or if you can, mix it down on the 4 track recorder first.
 
If its a 4 track tape you will need an interface that has 4 inputs .. otherwise you will just be recording the 2 channel stereo send into your pc.
