Guest Anonymous Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 I am a music teacher who uses my MD to record my students LIVE for evaluation/portfolio purposes. When I purchased my SONY I was told I could burn my recordings to CD, but of course, I couldn't. I just met with one of my students who showed me a REALLY easy way to do it. If you aren't looking for something of super high quality, this way is good!! Basically, you need Stereo Analog 1/8th" Cable to connect from the headphone jack on your MD to your line in on your PC. From you Start Menu, select Programs/Accessories/Sound Recorder AND Volume Control. For Line In on the Volume Control, make sure Line In is selected and the volume is at about 1/2 way. Push play on your MD and the record button on the sound recorder. Save the file anywhere you want on your hard drive, then you can drop that recording into any CD burning program you wish. Once you have been through these steps once or twice, it will be REALLY easy. Feel free to contact me at conductorchikathotmaildotcom. Kris P.S. I credit this info to Tyler Hust!!!

Guest Anonymous Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 P.S. I meant to make this clear that I use this for any recordings I make of live performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v1 Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Just one thing: isnt there a 1 minute maximum on windows sound recorder? I'm sure i was recording some school work a while ago on the lappy and i had to make about 5 separate files each 1 minute long. I might be wrong though....

I might be wrong though....yup i think your right coz windows' sound recorder does indeed have a limit thought what it is exactly i'm not 2 sure of...i hardly use this because i use my soundcard's recording software instead...if any of you are using creative s/b cards then use the Creative Recorder software that comes with it instead of Windows' sound recorder...it's a better program and it allows you more control than the one windows has to offer...

H22CRXSOL Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 true, windows sound recorder has a 1 minute limit. what i have done in the past with that is record 1 minute of blank audio, save it, open a new file, then then keep inserting the premade 1 minute blank to make the new one as long as i need it, ie a 4 minute blank. then when you need to record, start from the beginnning, and when done playing back, delete the rest blank audio after the end and voila! however, for basic no frills recording it's OK. Rather use a full featured audio software IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 yep i agree...u could use a program such as Adobe Audition for more advanced audio ripping and editing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
