mono and stero sound track recording

[cchen]

I tried to record sound track from an outside player such as CD player, plug in to microphone of my notebook. I tried both mono and stero, but I can not record both R and L tracks. How could I do that and see both tracks and both FFTs in wavepad? Thanks, Carl

your first mistake is plugging in to the microphone

 

you need to use a line-in jack

 

if you don't have one, you have two options

 

get a USB converter to makeup for the jack you don't have,

[ such as M-Transit ]http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Transit/

or play with the input on the mic input, [ in recording devices ]

but I don't see that working out too well, because you'll have mixed

impedences that won't like each other, you'll get a crappy sound at best.
