I've done 100's of Vinyl & Cassettes in Cool Edit (I'm sorry , Windows) years ago, now Audacity id FOSS.
Couple of tips,
If you want to make Audio CD's from your recordings leave (or create) a two second pause, some CD players are sensitive to this,
Also, be prepared that Cassettes have lost their tone, hit the 2nd hand Vinyl store,
Carefully monitor the incoming volume,and adjust the volume accordingly, all LP's are different, distortion can't be removed, do a test first, it's worth the time. You can always amplify it with the software, bring it in too hard and it will always be rotten, no matter what you do, "just ask todays CD makers" - my. my, hey, hey.
All you need to clean an LP is metho and a lint free cloth, don't trash the label, and move circular, unlike CD's, the rag will pull all the goo from the grove, finish in the direction of the diamond for minimum friction.
