javertim Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hello, I've been having a problem when recording analog from my minidisc to the line-in on the back of my computer. I never really had problems before, because I've always used the mic-in on my recorder, therefore resulting in a much higher / louder signal. However, in my quest to reduce clipping and other distortion, I have begun to use the line-in on my recorder along with a bass-roll-off battery box. As most of you know, this produces a much lower signal, and the minidisc itself is basically unlistenable unless you are somewhere very quiet (or have a good pair of headphones with a volume adjustment on them). But this is not the problem ... I've always made CDs of my past recordings, and have done this by recording via a mini jack from the headphones/line-out of my recorder to the line-in on the back of my computer. However, because of the lower signal, only one side of the stereo is recording (I believe it's the left size), and the other side does not record. I have turned my recorder's volume all the way up to the max, along with the line-in setting on my computer, but still only one side is recording in ... Like I said, this was never a problem (and still isn't) when I try to record mic-in recordings into my computer. For some reason, my pc is only allowing one side due to the amplification. I've even tried doing test recordings ... Whistling, then screaming into the mic while recording via line-in on the minidisc. What results, when recording to the pc, is a one-sided recording during the whistling -- But then the pc picks up both sides for the screaming. So, has anyone had this problem before and subsequently found a solution? Any advice at all would be very much appreciated. :-) Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
