Those inputs will be intended to take anything from a line-level output from a keyboard to a DI guitar/bass, hence the wide range of input gain. It won't be quite as good as the likes of a Focusrite Scarlett which switches between instrument and line (main change is the input impedance - Focusrite switch between 60k and 1.5M, your Presonus takes the middle ground at 500k) but it's what you have and I doubt it'll make any difference from cassette.

I'd take it straight from your tape deck to the input. Handle anything else in software.
