I’m trying to do this with a Superscope. I am about ready to piss upon it. Anyone have any sound card latency problems?
Even if this weren’t useful, I’d still just enjoy this dude’s voice.
Thanks Nick ,Just what I needed
Clear and easily understood
even I understood it
Thank you again.
You may have your microphone unchecked?
Try using the line in instead or go to Control panel on your PC & then then checking the sound devices.
Excelente ! las instrucciones son sencillas y sin tecnicismos y tu docencia buenísima ! Gracias Compañero.
thank you very much…..didnt realise how easy it was….im glad i camr across your page……cheers.
Thanks dude this was a lot of help!
this has been really usefull man thank you
A couple of things I like to do is click software playthrough to hear what I’m recording as I’m recording. If you don’t want it to distort, just turn down the microphone input volume a smig. Works like a charm!
i’ve linked up a dictaphone to the computer – dictaphone headphone socket to computer mic socket – i can’t hear whats being recorded??
excellent – thanks for your Help
@tkulsoom
What you should do is connect your computer in a set of external spraks via the headphone connection on your computer. Your audio device will be connected via the microphoneand headphone jacks. Therefore you hear what is been recorded
Also is there a limit to how long of an audio clip you can record within the programme?
Thank you again
Hi everyone, Qu I have downloaded version 1.2.6(which does not have the same interface as shown in the demonstration). I have hooked everything up &when I press record in the programme I can not hear what is being recorded. Can anyone suggest anything so I can hear what is being recorded without having to press stop?
Also I would like to save a few mp3′s from one tape, is it best to record at once then cut & save or record each one separately?
Thank you for your help everyone in advance
I downloaded audacity on my laptop then opened this you tube video. i followed it step-by-step and had numerous differences as i went along. then i learned i had downloaded the BETA version. i removed the BETA version and downloaded the correct version for my operating system and wala….it works. i am learning the process but it can be done as it was presented. maybe i was lucky.
I tried this. Haven’t gotten it to work yet. I have a SONY cassette player hooked up to an amplifier. The in and out jacks of the cassette player are hooked up to the amplifier. I bought the leader with phono/minijack. Which in/out do I hook it up to… On the cassette or amplifier? I’m connecting to a Macbook that does not have mic jack. The headphone jack is in AND out so I guess I connect to that?
Wow. That is clever and By the way, where did you get that record player from?
i forgot to add that you can listen to whats been recorded by using a audio splitter and a head phone.
actually i bout the imic thing for my mac but the vinyl software didnt work so audacity finished the job. great tutorial!
Thank you so much! Tried it yesterday and already got 3 cassettes done by last night! Worked great and you’re right, didn’t cost me a penny!
Just remember folks, when you look at the jack that connects to the pc, make sure you see 2 rings on the plug tip, to ensure that the plug is a stereo plug. 1 ring equals mono.
I’ve got FVD suite on my laptop. It transfers audio to mp3. It also transfers videos to either video formats like AVI, FLV, WMV, MOV, MP4 or PSP or audio formats like MP3, WAV or OGG.
Thanks mate, a huge help (no pun intended)
I finally got it! i just need to know how to save it as a mp3 file, it keeps saying that i need to install LAME. can u help please?
it says mic volume for me, not microphone, i will probably regret saying this, are they the same thing?
