piwacket Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Okay, after lots of searching, and reading of threads, I'm more confused than when I got here. I have a Sharp MD Mt77, and a new Mac Mini with 10.4 I bought a belkin mini to mini cable, and M-Audio's Transit USB audio interface. I have no issue with doing this entirely analog, I'm just confused as to the *how** You can copy audio via analogue connections to your Mac from any recording device with a line or headphone output, including all MD and HiMD recorders, hard disc recorders, flash recorders, VCRs, video cameras, DVD players, microcassettes, 8-tracks, you get the ideaplease excuse my ignorance, but how exactly does that work? any info or help or links to how to do this would be greatly appreciated!!!Thanks in advance!Pi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Plug your playback device (VCR, Radio, Edison Phonograph :-p ) line out to your Mac's line in, use your recording software of choice, and let her rip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mac Mini doesn't have a "line in" that I can find. which is why I bought the transit audio interface, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Syrius Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Don't worry. Does that USB thingy work as some sort of converter that will let you "inject" audio to your Mac? If so, you're set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piwacket Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 yeah, it's something like that... everytime I checked system prefs for the info it said it wasn't turned on, even though the light indicating use was on, so I just didn't understand what was happening... and it wouldn't show up anywhere for my recording softwarebut toggling the cord was all it tookand it's all working fine now.it only took 3 hours of extreme vexation and confusion and feeling supremely stupid because it should work, but didn'tyeah, it was great fun...
