I think just changing these two lines might work but it might not: Code: Select all mDecaySlider->SetValue((int)rint(decay*100)); decay = (double)(mDecaySlider->GetValue() / 100.0); That changes the slider range to 0.1 t 3.00 seconds, but I want it to be 0.1 to 30.0 seconds. Here's a revised patch ...

I'm coming out of a stereo mini port on the cassette deck, into the mic jack on my laptop. Many laptops have mono microphone sockets and are incapable of recording stereo. How do you know that the microphone input on your laptop is a stereo input? Windows 7 has its own recording settings in the Win...

Looks like we may have an oddball problem. or missing information that makes the issue appear to be oddball, so as you say Koz we need to gather information. (As you're aware,) many "oddball" problems become straightforward when all the facts are known. Often the difficult part is knowing...

OK, did the experiment as you told. The tone plays perfectly for the whole of 5 minutes in Audacity. However the exported WAV file is silent from the start. The project rate is 44100 Hz. When Audacity is restarted, the project still plays well in Audacity. Looks like we may have an oddball problem....

If your laptop has a stereo line-in connection then yes you can (suitable lead required) though on some mixers the main output level will need to be substantially less than 0 dB to avoid over-driving the line input. Some mixing desks have a dedicated "tape out" connection which is suitable...
