JimVint 0 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I am using the mike input on my Laptop computer and I am not getting good recordings. I purchased a preamp and that has helped the output when I pay through my speakers but not the recorded music. the music is low nad echos and sound like it is coming from about 200 yards inside a cave, it deadens out at points. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I use the Cassette ez part of the SW and it worked great, but I am currently very disappointed witht he vinyl. IF it is user error plase advise what I can do.. Link to post Share on other sites
longmorn3 0 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hello Jim: I don't think you will get much joy trying to use a mic jack for record input. I use a Behringer UCA202 "dongle", connected at one end to the Tape Out jacks of my receiver, and plugged into my computer via the USB cable. I consistently get outstanding results. Hope this helps and good luck. Have a great day. Regards, -Phil Link to post Share on other sites
JimVint 0 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Phil, Thanks much for the information. I have one on order and will post how it works once I set it up..By the way do you still need the preamp with this tool? Link to post Share on other sites
longmorn3 0 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Jim: Yes, you do need an amp for best results. Many turntables don't put out enough signal. I have my turntable connected to my AV receiver, and then I connect my Behringer UCA202 to the "TAPE OUT" (Line Out) jacks of the AV receiver. I get great results. Let us know how you make out. Have a great day. Regards -Phil Link to post Share on other sites
rtbcomp 0 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Depends on the soundcard - have a look for a "microphone boost" setting. The results aren't as good as using a pre-amp though. Link to post Share on other sites
