In the event, I hope you do not mind me posting my request, which can be deleted as it is not part of this forum.

My Dear Simon,
Firstly, I trust you are well.
I will try to be brief but that is impossible for me as my seventy-two-year-old mind is still working 'full on', as they say.
I would like your advice on something that is not relevant to September Clues, or the forum. It relates to your expertise in the recording and construction of music albums.
If you are not interested, or do not have the time to reply, that is fine; just let me know.

My music history is complicated but I have always been interested and love music not the drivel peddled as music, nowadays which I do not listen to or have or want access. Music is 'in the family' so to speak. As are also my many writings.
I have always loved the piano. Anything with the black and white notes of a piano always attracts my interest, even toy pianos.
In the early 1980's a great friend of mine purchased a Technics synthesiser. He happily lent it to me and I was instantly engaged in creating music from it.
I was encouraged by this experience to purchase my own synthesiser, which was a Yamaha PS55, if I remember correctly. I composed a lot of material on that machine and used it for a school assembly when I was teaching in a Special School at Romford, in the U.K.
I then purchased a Yamaha DX7 (original). I had also purchased an Atatri 1040ST with midi interface and Steinberg Pro24, spring reverb unit) to replace my Dragon 32.
I also later purchased a Tascam Porta One (and various bits and pieces (Yamaha FB01, Boss Reverb, Roland TR505)).
I now have a Yamaha Motif 7 and Casio CT655 connected to a computer but with other bits not installed at the present.

O.K. so all that over, I have at present:
A fully working (and Tascam professionally refurbished) Porta One.
A working PC running Windows XP (it was better than Win98SE for some reasons but better than anything that ever followed).
What I want to do, dear Simon, is to be able to take twenty years of 4-track tapes,(recorded on the Tascam) and mix them down to 2-track (.wav) on my computer.
I know I have Audacity (useful for some things) and I also have Goldwave (which I have been using for twenty years) but I cannot mix my 4-track tapes using my computer!
Nothing I try will make Audacity record my tapes from the Tascam!
Have you any suggestions?
The above relate to technical questions on a private matter.
A reply of any sort would be generous.
Well be.
My very best regards,
