Interestingly, it does not seem to ask or even use the microphone permission. I connected a Bluetooth headphone which has the headset profile (Sony 1000xm3), but AudioMass did not recognise it, even though I explicitly allowed microphone usage in the permissions box for audiomass.co.

It says "no microphone permissions found!", upon clicking the record button. I am on Ubuntu/Chromium, but this should no difference here.

I would think that this is the same for a USB-based microphone/converter/line-in device.

The above said, @Android986player, and in no way trying to diminish the accomplishments of AudioMass, it is maybe not the best tool for longer recordings (e.g. 60 minute cassettes), as it's web based and thus somewhat limited in performance, both CPU- and memory-wise.

I would suggest to use a native tool for this specific task, depending on your platform. Ardour seems the go-to tool, but there are plenty of options.
