Re: Reel to reel conversion - old equipment

I also have a ST458 Stellaphone (Philips) tape recorder, bought in 1964, in just about workable condition. With it, I have a five pin to five pin connector, slightly different in size to Midi connections. You should be able to get a five-pin din to 3.5mm stereo minijack cable from a decent hi-fi/au...

Almost the very first thing taht any sensible Windows user does when firing up a new PC is to reverse the default which hides all file extensions.

Re: USB vs. line-in

Potential problem? Quit possibly, such devices can interfere with each other. There was a letter in the Radio Times (or my paper - can't remember which) this week where some lady had long had problems with her TV signal until one day she re-organized her room and moved the base-unit of her transpor...

In my case my external Edirol is definitely superior to my desktops onboard soundcard - but I don't get static from my USB connections (he says while franticall...

I thought that was only the case in 1.2.x and that there ist was regarded as a bug. I thought the mute/solo settings were observed as you would expect in 1.3.x - am I wrong?
