Default Tape transfer to digital question

Hi all

Hopefully this is in the right section - not sure if it's best here or modern tech.

If I want to transfer a cassette to my computer via a USB audio interface would I be OK going in via the "instrument" inputs?

My interface has inputs for mics (clearly not the right input), inc phantom power, and "instruments" which go in via 1/4 in jacks. I know that the interface works well with Audacity (in so far as I used it for something else recently and didn't have to faff with drivers etc).

I ask as I will have to buy a lead to do this.

I do have a couple of those ION things, but prefer to do a transfer via my proper deck.

Martin
