Question for INport users

[Big Al]

Are any of you able to listen to the LP you're recording through your computer while you're recording it to your hard drive? Mine won't let me listen while I'm recording, and I can't monitor the sound on the computer until after I'm done recording and have shut down the record player. Is there a way around this?

Al,

does your software that you're using

for transfer have a "monitor" option?

You may have to check the preferences.

Up, in hopes that Chuck and/or Skid sees this thread!

Yes it does. Maybe it's supposed to be like that, I dunno. It'd just be nice to be able to preview what I'm hearing while I'm recording it (i.e. check the sound levels, hear it as it's being recorded by the computer)

Duhhhhh....... just found it. It's on the opening screen, box called "Simultaneous Playback."

If it was a snake, it'a bit me.

So is it working now, or what??? :rsmile:

The "Auto Level" setting comes in pretty handy -- "the [recording level] volume control automatically lowers itself if the level is too high" when this is set.

Alright, here's another question about a problem that is getting extremely frustrating:

I copy the LP to my hard drive, fix it up, then save it to a CD. I'm listening to the CD and I'm hearing skips. Not skips from the vinyl; skips like a piece of data didn't import properly. I'm thinking I may just need to defrag my hard drive, but has anyone else had this happen? Some LPs I've had to re-do three times now!

Never had that happen. Must be you.

If you don't find a fix, I suggest playing the file before burning to check it out. Sounds like a pain but it will save discs and wasted burn time.

I think your machine is paying you back for all the Dennis DeYoung crap you feed it.

You mean this might not be a coincidence?
