CDex - help doesn't want to load

Unfortunately, despite also downloading special windows update to 'see' Win XP help files , CDex help won't open, so not very ...

Re: Line-in not an option

Well, thanx Steve for your patience and also for offering all of your advice. When I used to have my business, I would ask my Principles in Germany and Switzerland to give any new instruments to their accounts people to set up. This way, the silly little glitches were noted and put in the manual. If...

Re: Line-in not an option

Whew - and all I wanted was a way to record my vinyls onto the confuser! Think this software was written for awfully clever fellows . . . . . . RoFL Think I'll give the Sound Recorder a trial, as attempting to record each track separately is not only time consuming, but could end up damaging both th...

Re: Line-in not an option

Morning chaps - wow, isn't this fun . . . . . . as you say it does help to RTFM!! Managed to get this borrowed vinyl onto the laptop - songs from '37 to '55, so they need a bit of tweaking, as well as the clicks and pops! Also managed to change to an MP3 via Lame - thx Steve - so now have the figure...

Re: Line-in not an option

Hi, Waxcylinder, sorry if I'm misunderstanding your kind reply - my Acer does have the stereo line-in socket, as well as the mic.

Does this mean that I need the external sound card that you refer to? My internal Realtek should be able to do this, shouldn't it?

Best regards :oops:

Line-in not an option

Hi everyone, first post from new member. I was referred to Audacity to enable me to download my vinyls onto my Acer laptop, so set up the stereo cable from my amp, which should go into my line-in jack socket. Loading up Audacity beta [apparently, the only version for Win 7 - I have 'Pro'] it has rec...
