I make my own cables. Including ones that allow you to select if the output is going to a MIC or LINE/AUX. It includes an impedance matching circuit consisting of two resistors and a capacitor. This effectively attenuates the signal to that of a 'condenser mic' when needed. This advanced cable

just about any audio recording device will work. However. some common problems are associated with recording a program (output of the computer). Ideally, the recorder should have a LINE INPUT for this. An AUX INPUT will usually do, but there will be an impedance mismatch when using a MIC

I was looking at some of the books people have listed here recently, and some of the type-in programs are interesting. If you remember the old days of typing in programs from the back of magazines, you remember that it could be very tedious, which is why there were lots of utilities to help

Has anyone recently done tape stuff? What's your setup? I have a Califone 3230 AV recorder with motor control, aux etc. Will that work, or would I need a Radio Shack branded setup? Thanks, Will

Given that my new m100 is 39 years old, should I expect that parts need replacing inside? Everything looks fine on the motherboard, but, I wonder about the backup power source and capacitors. Now that I have it and it's working, I think I'd like to keep it around. Thanks, Will
