Monitoring LP on Line-In I have the AudioTechnica AT-LP2Da and Pyro Cakewalk 5 package. I'm using a Windows 2000 system with a simiarly old sound card and DirectX sound software. Using Line In, the LP is recording successfully to the Computer and I can play it back after it is converted to digital. My problem is that I can't monitor (listen to) the recording while it is happening. Therefore, I can't know if the LP is skipping or when it is done without watching it. Is there a way to monitor the recording as it happens? Monitoring LP on Line-In I have the AudioTechnica AT-LP2Da and Pyro Cakewalk 5 package.

Depends on your sound card. There are FAQ on the audio-technica.com website that explain this. Ideally you have a full-duplex sound card and then you should be able to listen while you record.

Cakewalk Pyro does not support recording monitoring; however, Audacity (which should have been bundled with your turntable, and if not is freely downloadable), supports this. I got the best results by using Audacity to record, then going into Cakewalk, starting a new project, adding the files to it, and doing the track splitting and audio cleanup from there.

You need 'line level' not 'mic level' inputs on the PC, otherwise the signal will be way too strong and, thus, distorted (mic output is much lower than line output). Most basic PCs, especially laptops, have 'mic in' and not 'line in' (the laptop I'm typing this on right now doesn't even have a 'mic in'). If you have a soundcard with 'line in' inputs, then you could do it. Having said all that, it might be possible to adjust the signal with Audacity using 'mic in', so that it doesn't distort, but I am guessing. I just know from using Cakewalk (precursor to Sonar) in the old days that it didn't work like that. You could try it and report back on your experience, good or bad.

For transcription I use the program: "For The Record". I installed the Phillips foot pedal cd, and the pedal would not active with the FTR program. In program provided in the CD the pedal work, but its not consistent with my needs. I would not recommend, because I never before install the cd in other foot pedals and the foot pedals always work

I have to agree with what Eric said, I've done tape player recordings and they came out pretty good. I have a tape player that I plugged into the Sound Card, I tweaked the recording adjustments and it came out great. You can do so much with the card, I'm just a tinkerer and it was easy to use. I mostly use my card for playing music, gaming and chatting on-line.

In my case, I found the unit to be totally incapable of storing or transferring data despite clear claims it would do so on all platforms. Then, the instructions say it only runs on windows 7. The company, based in China, promised to fix it, but failed. It works ok for just measuring relative sound pressure, but it's about 10% off versus a calibrated instrument.

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing. But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

The px350 doea have line outputs but I am not sure if the built in speakers remain on for monitoring while they are in use. I doubt it thoug .

The DP-006 unit will record voices from microphones, or voices/music from a line source such as a radio, tape recorder or other device. It will not ... on its own ... produce a CD. In order to do that you must connect it to a device that is designed to burn a CD such a CD or DVD recorder. Your computer should be able to do this quite well. This technique is described on page 28 and on page 83 - 92: EXCHANGING DATA WITH A COMPUTER. You must connect the DP-006 to the computer with the included USB cord. Pay attention to the headings: ENTIRE SONGS, WAV FORMAT TRACKS AND STEREO MASTER FILES on page 83 particularly regarding FAT partitions. Good luck.

I don't use the software, unless that is where I got Audacity. Audacity is a free open source program that can record sound in line in from a stereo or from the data line of this device. I think there is a package on the disc that tries to break the recording into individual songs but I have read that it is not correct. I just use Audacity or Wavepad from NCH. I record the entire side of an album into a single file. That is what I recommend.

Hello Fidan, The LP works with any software that supports MIDI such as FL Studio, Ignite, etc.But Ableton live is a really good program that you can program to work with other software at the same time for different commands and actions.Note: Some MIDI software will not turn on the lights of the pads.

Does anyone know if it is possible to simply play an LP on this turntable through the Mac? I see someone has responded with instructions to make it play through a PC with Windows but I am wondering about the Mac...I have good speakers attached to my Macbook and would like to play it through that.

There may be other ways, but if all else fails, install the Audacity software (or other recording software), run Audacity, hit the "pause" button in Audacity, then hit "record". The sound will play through your speakers without recording. Make sure you have gone to "File &gt; Preferences" in Audacity and selected ""Sofware Playthrough" under the "Audio I/O" tab first. Basically, you just need a way for your sound card to hear the recording input - this way is clunky but it works.

There's a button behind and underneath the turntable where it can be read phono and line. You have to put it in line for you to hear a sound,

Hello,Recording is rather simple with this machine. Once turned on , press record, let it initialize, press record,,again. You have to hit the stop button twice for it to stop recording. to play back hit play. Your recording should play back. I have several of these recorders and one does not playback through the recorder only through the computer. I had no problem getting the company to send a replacement.

Have you initialized the disk?I use this recorder at work with a thermographic camera. It allows the process engineers to see where heat is affecting the quality of parts being welded and more!They like to watch what is being recorded while I'm recording as well.To solve this, put a splitter on the recorders input and use that to "feed" a monitor/TV with a RCA input jack.You can not finalize what you are not recording!

The DVT5500 has a built-in speaker. To hear a playback of any of your recordings, all you have to do is go to the file you want, numbered in one of 4 folders - "A", "B", "C" or "D". Folder "E", is music only. With the press of a few buttons it take just a few seconds to find the file & play it back. There is a feature that quickly allows you to hear the recording from the start, or only to hear the last 5 seconds of your recording.

I received a Phillips digital recorder boxed with my version of Dragon speak 12.0. I have yet to use it, however and do not know if other digital recorders would be compatible but I assume so.
