Hugo, I'm driving a Dell Inspiron 5100 with Windows XP SP2. I'll try and take a look under the hood to see if I can't figure something out with the mixer settings, but as far as I can tell the mic isn't muted. That mixer idea sounds like a possibility; we will see. Thanks for taking a look at...

Great news! I bought the audio cable to run from the PSR to the mic-in and, voila, it records! But . . . (isn't there always a but?) I can't hear it. I can only hear the keys on playback of the recorded track. Here's hoping you can help me out one more time on this one. I'm so close; I can...

Sonic_Idiot: Thanks so much for that recipe! I have to try it. I'm off to Goodwill first thing tomorrow. Yay again. I'll let you know if I fry anything. hrwmusic: AX12! That's one of my old mics! I miss it! I love it! Know where I can find it? I have to find that Barbie gear! karyoker: Another...

jake-owa: Yeah, I like the earbud method. Though I didn't know it was a hit. I did it a couple years ago in a pinch when I couldn't find the microphone that I eventually lost for good. Go figure. Thanks all the same for the tip! And, hey, I don't have the first clue about what a preamp is, but...

scrubs: Ooh. The old phone sounds like fun. Too bad I don't have the first clue about how to build things. If you ever come across a how-to.... Not sure who Lou Barlow is, but those Copperphones look like a LOT of fun. $250 is a lot. I think I will just put one of my mics in a soup can with...

kid_klash: That's perfect! I'm on my way to Radio Shack anyway, so I'll go ahead and pick one of those up. Thanks a lot! corso: This sounds cool. Can you find a link or image of what you're talking about? I'd love to try to track one down.

I appreciate the info (as well as the gesture), but I'm seriously uninterested in standard mic configurations. Without defending it, I enjoy the static as much as you probably enjoy the clean! Thank you again.

Thanks a million, Hugo. I'm off to Radio Shack now. And about that E-Mu: Holy shnikes! A week ago, I was using a tape recorder! But you know your stuff, so thank you again.

Thank you!

I am new. I know very, very little. I checked the FAQ before posting. As I am not the least bit concerned with sound quality, I would ask that any high-quality microphone recommendations be withheld. I have one and I can't afford another one. I use an Audio-Technica condenser shotgun (as seen...

Hugo, Thanks a lot. I think I've already learned a lot. Now that I understand the difference between MIDI and audio, I need to ask my second stupid question: What is the purpose of recording MIDI? Or, rather, practically, how and why is it generally used? For my purposes, I think I just want...

I have searched high and low for answers to the following problems, but have only ended up in frustration. I hope these boards can help. Caveat to the easily annoyed: forgive me if my post is all too familiar. I just want to record like everybody else here and, right now, I am completely...
