O.k. so I’m a newbie...but I’m trying to learn about sound, mixing and how sound cards work in general. I have a couple of what are pretty simple issues for you ‘sound techies’ out there. Aside from just trying to understand how a sound card works, in general (I have a Turtle Beach Montego, a Creative Sound Blaster Live Value!, and an ATI 9600 AIW multimedia card in 3 different computers), I would like to be able to record guitar tracks over piano tracks, etc., and to be able to save to disk streaming audio from sites like WebMD where a seminar might take place and I would like to record it for playback in my car while I’m stuck in traffic.
I’ve read through several other questions posted (and the answers given) and must say I was a bit lost when you started talking about Line in amplitude and Line out amplitude and ‘noise’, etc., etc.. Intuitively it seems to me that one ought to be able to connect a ‘line out’ (that would normally go to a speaker) to the ‘line in’ of a given sound card...and the sound would be captured and by some means be stored to disk? Again, my ignorance of the physics of sound cards is probably glaring about now and someone has to be rolling his eyes, but “Why wouldn’t this work?!” (Or would it?). What adjustments would have to be made to make it work, if any.
Thanks to anybody who can explain this to me!
