Is there a way to hook this up directly to a digital recorder to cut down on background noise?

I'm sure if you get a cord with both ends the same size as a headphone jack it should work. Both allow headphone use. I think it a 1 1,5 mm jack size. I have the same cord running from my iPod to the auxiliary jack in my car.

The back ground noise is SO loud. I have tried many things to make it quieter because I can't hear the voices and words over the noise. Most recently some one told me to put a piece of bread over it's speaker while recording to cut fuzz, that kind of worked but I would suggest an audio program to cut it out maybe?

Nothing will cut the noise this box makes. It not worth using. I have 30 plus years experience and I do not recommend this product. There are better ones out there.

Try cutting the antennae wire internally. I get zero radio interference and the static isn't as bad because the range from box to radio antennas doesn't matter anymore. For me it's a lot better

YES, I use one one mine. you hook up thorugh the port on the side . you can hook up a set of headphones or external, speaker too in the headphone jack to hear it in real time as your recorder records it and only it. allows you to not be recordered ove rthe device and only the device records.

yES, USE AN OPTICAL DIGITAL CABLE FROM THE dvr, or from the tv if it has such an output. eITHER ONE WILL PRODUCE THE SAME SOUND, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT i HAVE.

I haven't used it for that purpose, however, it has picked up music in the background of my recordings very clearly. I would keep the recorder at a bit of a distance from the piano, since having it very close tends to "fuzz" the recording a bit.

It depends on the recorder you plug this in to. It's just a microphone not a recorder. We have many different recorders available for this solution. Let us know more details on your preferences.

Wow..you are way more advanced than I am. I know this unit can do LOTS more than I can figure out...but the instrutions, online and included S-U-C-K! I pretty much installed the audacity software...played the tape into my PC...and burned the CD...I could figure out noise reduction...but that also took out the whole 'stereo' sound...so I stopped even trying to reduce the static...My guess is that it can work with those tapes..but, you would have to figure it out on your own..sorry, i know..no help at all...

no but during you're recording sessions it will cancel out background noise to the point where only your voice is heard

You can use external software to amplify the audio input, programs like Audacity have an option to output the audio it is recording, which does the same thing.

Don't know for sure, but it may be possible to get a male-male cable that you could use to go from the earphone output on the recorder to the microphone input on your laptop.

I am sorry, I can't answer this question. I am no longer using a tape recorder I have gone digital. It was too hard to find good tapes that didn't drag and distort the vocal sound. There was an output to ear phones, but that is all I remember. Sorry, Becky

You can definitely use it for direct recording. I've used it on a couple of finished tracks with a couple of different instruments. You'll likely have some latency issues and will have to mess around with the settings, but every DAW I've tried it with has recognized it as an input source.

that's one way BUT to make it more simple you could by a usb preamp with phantom power like the "Avid MBox 3" or the "Lexicon Lambda" i would recommend the mbox though. the lambda volume isnt that high but it may be cheaper and you would probably need a xlr splitter cable to get stereo quality sound.

It's a recorder. It records all sounds..it has no idea what you consider 'background noise'.

It won't work the way you want it to in a place with a lot of background noise

I've never done that, but I'll give you a qualified "I think so." This is based on the fact that when I go to the sound properties, I see there is a "SPDIF In" recording device, as well as a SPDIF In port on the back of the unit. I'd defer to someone else who's done that though since I don't know for certain.

If you work it with the cardiod pattern, work it close and reduce the gain you should be able to reduce the background noise. You could also surround the mic with a sound shield - I think Amazon has these three sided foam contraptions.

I haven't tried it that way I used a digital recorder to record off the phone unscrupulous business so I also have a record of the conversation for myself. From the digital recorder it was a simple task with a mp3 player to play back the file and copy it on any computer for save keeping. You for a laptop would need to have to activate a recording program and then select this device for the input and output not real clear cut like a digital recorder with is a direct connection. Have a tech head buddy help you most windows or linux OS have these utilities available in them.

That depends. We have not used it for that purpose. The best way would be to split both the mic input and the computer audio output, mix them and then record onto a recorder (this one or another) directly through the line in input.
