POOR SOUND INPUT phono to pc |
|
|
Am trying to get cassettes and LPs to pc using line input. Cassette sound
quality is just ok but phono is v poor.Am using 2 RCA to mini jack. Amp is
oldfashioned so headphone connection is 1/4 so am connected to tape 2
"rec"on rear of amp-do I have a mismatch.What is easiest way to solve this?
AM using the excellent Audacity system but as an IT idiot I don't understand
their instructions for actually putting music in acessable folder to transfer
to WMP-can someone please explain in SIMPLE words how to do this, so I can
finally get my stuff to CD, many thanks

Your Turntable is a 5mv Line output and your Cassette is a 150mv line out.
Go to Radio Shack and buy a Phono Preamp. It will match the Phono Voltage to
the Line Level Input. You can NOt accomplish this task with out, unless you
have a mixer that has Mag Phono inputs and and some OUTputs on it as well,
any Line Mixer (used for DJing etc) will work and the shack has some cheap
ones as well.
