Flatline

Post by mailhot » Sun Dec 04, 2011 11:21 pm

Hi folks.

Am using a mixer to get into computer...two RCA to mini stereo jack through line in on the computer. Can hear the music fine through my monitors but when I set recording on Audacity to line-in and hit record...getting flatline when I record...no signal. What am I missing here.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards...

Marc

We need to know what kind of computer you have, what OS you are running and what version of Audacity you are running.

Hi Bill and thanks.

Have a Dell E 510 running Windows XP and Audacity Bet Code 1.3. Plenty of memory. Running the signal from a Vintage turntable Technics SL 3200 DD...into an Audio Technica Mixer Model AM 150...can hear the music fine...but again no recording signal...flatline.

Hope this helps and again thanks very much.
