I want to digitize reel to reel recordings and vinyl LP records. Will this work to input the sound to my laptop?

Behringer's identically-priced UFO202 has a built-in switchable phono preamp and a ground terminal to prevent hum.

The inputs are line level - which means they will work for tape decks. The signal from record players (magnetic cartridge) is pretty low, so ou will need a preamp to get good results from a record player.

There are some turntables that have a built in amp. Mine does so it works with straight RCA inputs.

This works through your computer, PC or laptop, not with any recorder. This is for digital transcription, not tapes.

I had the same problem. NO this camera will only play digital recordings. I wound up buying an old camera to play my analog tapes and used it to transfer my analog tapes to DVD's. cheaper in the long run.

hi Lawrence,I used mine for a vcr.I wondered if it would work or not and came to the conclusion,if it doesn't, I have a paper weight.

You would need a microphone mixer then you could plug the mixer into the analogue input of the Marants. It only had line inputs. I use either a phono stage for vinyl records, or a CD player go CDs, or my reel to reel. All plug into the analogue input.

I don't think so. There is a component and S-Video output - So if you can hook this up to your computer you could use it but there is no need. This device eliminates copy protection. So unless the VCR tapes have copy protection you don't need this device. What it sounds like you want is analog video capture ability. Check out USB devices for capturing video signal.

That will work if you have a phono preamplifier between the turntable & the T1 (some turntables have a built in pre - you should check that to find out). However the line-in doesn't have access to the tube buffer so only the PC will be able to use that. It's possible a USB turntable could use the USB input & then it would go through the tube buffer. Most USB TT's have a built -in pre - however they are not usually thought of as particularly high level TT's. You would also have to switch between using the PC & the TT in that case.

Hi Jose, I'm not sure I'd use this for record directly into a PC with some sort of buffer. This unit can boost a signal quite dramatically and you may overdrive or even blow out your PC's audio input circuitry. For nearly the same cost you may be able to find a unit that has a UBS output port to do the same. If you are careful with the output volume it certainly may work, just be careful about it.

I have only used it with audio recording programs. In theory, it should work, but I wil want to see other responses.

I have the SL-1210M5G and do a lot of vinyl transfers. First, download this free software. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/ I use the 1/4" headphone jack on my receiver to 3.5mm pin on my PowerBook G4 mic input. If you need an RCA adapter for your soundcard, these are available and relatively inexpensive as well. Once you make the link between receiver and your computer, Audacity works pretty much like a tape recorder. With a little practice and a CD burner, you'll be ripping vinyl in no time. To convert to mp3, you'll need the Lame Encoder plugin available here. http://www.guidesandtutorials.com/audacity-lame.html For the best quality sound, I'd recommend you import the files in a uncompressed format. I use aiff 32 bit PCM and record @ 4100hz/32 bit floating point.

No, it's not--you can digitize your vinyl for use on your devices (basically converting the music on your records into mp3s), or just play your vinyl on old school with the audio coming through the built-in speakers. What would make it better is if it had Blue Tooth (so it could be played through external wireless speakers). But being able to capture songs from vinyl and turn them into mp3s for your devices is still pretty cool--that and the built-in speakers were all I was looking for.Hopefully this helps!

It has 4 XLR inputs and two 1/4" TRS inputs so if your mic cables all end in xlr you will need two female xlr to male 1/4" TRS adaptors. As long as you have the proper adaptors it should work just fine. In the record settings you can set it up for individual files. The manual does a decent job of explaining inputs and set up and there are many tutorials on youtube on using this unit.

It will work with mp3 files. Select "TOOLS"; then "Transcribe Recording" enter the file name, etc and it will go to work.

The Topping TP-D2 is not designed for capturing audio signals. It is intended for playing back digital and alnolog audio sources. You need a device like the Behringer UFO202 Audio Interface (which I have used) which can capture audio directly from your turnatable to your PC or from any analog audio output. There are a number of simialr devices available to digitize LPs.

probably:-your mic (assuming you have a condenser mic that needs phantom power?)-xlr mic cable male to female-mic cable with female xlr on one end and an 1/8" male stereo or mono plug (you'll have a mono to stereo issue on the input to your computer but you can most likely fix that in garageband/protools)-you may need a direct box if the signal isn't hot enough for your computer's audio input, if so you'll need a few more cables to be able to rout the direct box inI think that's it?

I don't see a reason why not. It's a input as a microphone, turntable, cassette deck. Audio Studio is a good program....it's only drawback it records a single file.....When I do a record, I record side 1 and use the markers....then edit, gain..ect then side 2. Hope that helps. Charlie

It would, yes, but it wont work. They are both outbputs (The keyboard and headphone jack) I think what you want to get is an audio interface like this....http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-BEH-UM2-LIST. You want to play your keyboard through the laptop right? With the interface you can also record.
