I own a tascam porta o7 4-track and I use a shure sm58 microphone to record. I've built a website for my writings and poetry and would like to put my music up as well. My computer is pretty damn ancient(processor is 75 mhz) but so far works well for the internet (besides being really damn slow) and It won't recognize that the line in jack for audio exists as far as sound-I plugged in my four track into it before and could hear it ,but now it doesnt seem to work. How do I get my computer to recogize it? and or have my software be able to record the incoming sound.
I also would like to know if there is freeware on the internet that would run on my computer- I need a program with at least two tracks and sync as well as panning so I can mixdown my four track.
I've figured out a way to simulate stereo on my four track by leaving the monitor switch on remix and mixing down R and L seperately. You can also mix down simutaniously by purchasing a 1/4 inch to rca adaptor for the headphone jack and two rca to 1/4 inch adaptors plugged into two inputs which are designate as seperate tracks.
