Subject: Re: [Audyssey] has anyone tried the following USB device?
laptops do have line in.
its usually combined with the mic jack or in most cases the headphone
jack.
the only thing though that I suggest is that you get a splitter and plug a
headphone or speaker or something into one of the ports of either an amp
or something for one of the sources, maybe where its coming from or to the
computer so at least you can here what you are recording.
you also need some monitoring like in studio recorder because there is no
real way to get the right volumes as these chips run quite hot audio wise
and it depends.
on my amp I have to turn all my volumes to full to get things working but
sr beeps all over the place and you need to adjust the internal volume,
for best quality.
I have a sub with a preamp but yeah thats all you need.
as in way of usb things that would work but you would then have to switch
your input device to that either for windows or the particular program
this may mangle sound, and especially in laptops where unless you have
sight assistance its almost impossible to reinstall say the sound drivers
because you eed to go to somewhere on the drive or a cd to find them well.
if you want to test this get something thats non critical.
if anything goes wrong, just reformat and the problem will go away.
I must say though i have not had much success with this connection for
direct line in of tapes say.
another option would to get a digital recorder i have a soni ux60.
you do however get outside noise and other things but it may work better
for you rather than fussing round with internal recording though that is
much cleaner.
my recorder has a bit of hiss but its actually better than my first now
dead recorder I got from the same company which is a bit scary since the
first recorder I got was higher quality then the other one.

this question is mainly directed to those who own laptops, and can't use
line-in. I've been trying to record some audio samples of mainstream
games, but since I don't have line-in on this laptop I haven't been able
to. I've been looking for a USB device, and I've found this one. Has
anyone tried, or know if the following USB item will work for such
purpose? according to the description, it works for recording from
cassette decks, but not sure what else you could do with it. if anyone has
more info, I'd sure appreciate it. Here's the link to the product in
question. thanks for any help!
