How can an audio engineer take a thirty-forty year old song that was recorded on analog tape? How is the data extracted and processed?

The process is called digitization. In principle, it’s like playing the tape and recording it, but skipping the part where the sound wave goes through the air. Imagine connecting a tape player’s output to where you would plug in a microphone to your computer, that’s pretty much the gist of it. But in a professional setting, they will use specialized equipment designed specifically for this process to retain as much quality as possible.
