    There is not a option for recording devices

  • reid152 Apr 12, 2009

    I use XP

  • reid152 Apr 12, 2009

    I wish we were on the same page, we kind of are to some regard, now if your in XP, and click Sound, you will note, there is not Recording Tab. I don`t know if your using Vista?

  • reid152 Apr 12, 2009

    I disabled stereo mix. And mic is enabled,
    Everything enabled:



    Line Volume

    CD Volume

    Mix Volume



    Line Volume

    Disabled:



    Stereo Mix

    Does this sound right?

  • reid152 Apr 12, 2009

    If that does sound right, that is not good, because the mic still does not work.

  • reid152 Apr 12, 2009

    3.5 mm

  • reid152 Apr 12, 2009

    No, it is recording sound from the headphones :s

  • reid152 Apr 12, 2009

    No`p, that didn`t do the trick either :(

  • reid152 Apr 12, 2009

    yea

  • reid152 Apr 12, 2009

    See, i`m slightly confused, it was working yesterday, And i did nothing, and now it doesn`t do anything except for pick up head phone sounds. The sound card is great, its just the config, something is set to make it do something.

  • reid152 Apr 12, 2009

    Your welcome to come remote desktop if you want to try that?

  • reid152 Apr 12, 2009

    It didn`t either. This is weird... Well, thanks for your help, take care. My msn messenger is [email protected], If anyone else thinks they can help, add me, if your adding me to say hey, please refrain!

I try to record sound but i press record, but it doesn't record at all. it says: ''cannot record.''
It sounds like there is probably either not enough free memory to record things or your phone doesn't have an internal microphone, if so you might be able to buy some headphones that have a mic. or something like that. I hope this helped :)

Can't record clear sounding video on either my mini or my laptop.
A better idea is to use a digital camera with sound, switch to video record and make your video with that then copy that AVI file to your PC. But if you really want to use the PC make sure that your Audio source is selected in the recording devices section of audio properties as Microphone, then turn off mic boost. Slowly bring up your mic volume with the headphones attached until you can hear yourself clearly. Cranking it up too far will result in over-modulation and distortion. And finally, remember that most microphones included with laptops and Desktop PC's are cheap hetrodyne models with limited filtering and cheap plastic domes for audio pickup. The more you pay the better they get.

Something worth mentioning here.
I have actually had success recording with Cheap headphones on the Mic port before. Not headphone mic combos, but the actual Headphones. This gives you an idea of the sensitivity of these pickups.

Acer aspire 5735 mic problem
Go to control panel and sound devices and unmute the mic under record options. To avoid feed back use headphones or mute the mic in the play back option. Audacity is a good open source application to use to record on your PC.

Line in / Mic jack help
So we're talking PC here, right?

I don't understand what you want to record. Going from the PC Headphone jack to the PC Line IN might be unwise in order to prevent a feedback loop. External (non-PC) source and PC MIC might work but you would probably want to monitor it on headphones again because of possibe feedback.

Does your MIC work?

Right click the speaker icon again and select Adjust Audio Properties or open Control Panel and select Sounds & Audio Devices. Select the box to place the icon on the Taskbar for future use.


Right click on the little speaker icon in your Taskbar and select Open Volume Control, if it's there. From there you're on your own. I have a sound card so I don't know what you will see. Look around, there may be a bunch of audio outputs and inputs with Master and individual volume & balance controls plus one for your Mic. Make sure it's not muted.

You've got two inputs on the DP-02 so you can record two sources at once.

Depending on how you want the electric guitar recorded (mic the amp, or direct line in) you can in the first case plug your guitar mic into one of the mic inputs on DP02 and plug your vocal mic into the other mic input. You also have the option of plugging the guitar directly into the DP02 (using the hi-z input - I believe it is labelled 'guitar' or something on the DP02. I any event I believe it's the one on the left). This way you only need one mic for use recording the vocal part.

To avoid any 'bleed' between channels you can use the headphones while recording this way and you'll avoid having the unamplified guitar sound coming through over the vocal mic.

Once you have the mics or guitar and mic plugged into two inputs, you need to assign the inputs to a channel (track) to record on. You do this by pressing the select button for the input and then pressing the select button for the track where you want to record the input. Do this for both inputs so that they are recording on different tracks. Then arm the tracks for recording by pressing the record button for each track and the lighted buttons will flash above each armed track. Then just press play and record and you'll be recording. You can go back and redo it as many times as you like and record over what is there, or preserve a take and assign a new track (or tracks) for another take. You've got 8 to play with.

Hope this helps.
