Re: Considering USB Phone Preamp, am I going to have trouble

Please note that you can proceed with recording your turntable without the preamp, but the results will be noisier and not as good a quality as doing it the proper way. Turntables and phono cartridges are designed to be plugged into a Phono Preamp. They're specific and special. If your laptop has th...

Re: Considering USB Phone Preamp, am I going to have trouble

Recording on a Windows machine can be a challenge, but a USB phono preamplifier like the UFO202 gets you around all the problems that Windows Computers have with their audio connections. Then all you need to do is turn off Windows audio and video conferencing. That's pretty much it. Past that, you n...

Re: SBD>Macbook pro

Yes. I do that all the time. That's my MBP on the far right connected to the stereo Line-Out of the mixer. We're setting up, so it's not recording yet. http://www.kozco.com/tech/MicTests/studioLayout.jpg Here's my MBP recording the "Tape-Out" of my mini-mixer in front. You can just see the...

Re: audacity 1.3.14 beta won't copy cassettes onto my Win 7

Is Windows pointing to the blue-socket Stereo Line-In for recording? Scan down to Windows Problems. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#Using_the_Control_Panel When you plug your headphones into the cassette player, is the volume OK? Could you listen to that for a long ...

Re: Intermittent hum during recording / play back.

Make sure upgrading to Audacity 1.3 doesn't cure the problem.
The 1.2 versions of Audacity can have serious problems on newer computers.

Re: audacity 1.3.14 beta won't copy cassettes onto my Win 7

It sounds like you got the wrong connector on the computer. Do the touch test. Unplug your cassette machine, start Audacity recording and touch one RCA center pin and then the other. The noise should go way up when you do that. You are intentionally creating noise to test the channel. http://kozco.c...

Re: Doctor Who Voices

You can go a long way with Effect > Vocoder in Audacity 1.3. That's how the early Dalek voices were done -- and may still be done for all I know. Start with the upgrade to Audacity 1.3 http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/update.txt The problem with most home productions is they're starting from All I...
