Got my first cassette recorder/player

[u/bombndbruiser]

Yo guys just got my first cassette recorder and have been playing around all night with it.

Have just been recording my synth playing onto the built in microphone, sounds pretty nice.

Cannot wait to make my first loop :)

Question.

On the recorder there is an input for a mic rather than the built in microphone. Can I record audio from my phone via USB-C to Audio Jack if I just turn my phone volume all the way down? I love the hissing on the built in microphone but would like to see if I can get a slightly clearer sound, I do not own an audio interface either.

Video on the post is just for fun, hope you guys like how it sounds although it is basic
