quade 4 #2 September 10, 2005 Um, did you try plugging it in? Seriously, what is the issue you're having? Plug it in, fire up Quicktime, record. What's so difficult about that?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeepThought 0 #4 September 11, 2005 If you are trying to plug a vynal deck into a "line in" you will need a "phono stage". A lot of amps have these built-in, but I donot know of any sound cards with them. There are also two types of signal that can be sent from your deck. It will wither be a MC (Moving Coil) or MM (Moving Magnet) Most phono Stages will work on both. But both of these are far to low to be pluges into a standard Line-In The way I do it, is to connect the PC (in your case the Mac) in to the Tape Loop of my Amp. -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.

monkey1031 0 #7 September 11, 2005 it's running through a pre-amp, so: Turntable line out into a pre-amp, out of the pre amp, into the mac mic.... basically the same as it was through the stereo... and, what the hell is earthing? -smd7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And earthing, is ground, There should be a set of RCA (red & white) cables coming out of the turntable and then another wire with something that looks like a metal U on the end of it, which needs to be grounded.

monkey1031 0 #9 September 12, 2005 got it set up (grounded, etc...) but now, i can't get garage band to just record a track (i looks like it should just record a song as one track, right?). the microphone reads a signal, but i can't get the mic to send the signal to the track... -smd7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
