just about any audio recording device will work. However..... some common problems are associated with recording a program (output of the computer). Ideally, the recorder should have a LINE INPUT for this. An AUX INPUT will usually do, but there will be an impedance mismatch when using a MIC INPUT. The LINE and AUX are designed for really strong signals. The MIC input is designed for weak, or unamplified signals. This is like taking a watermelon and trying to fit it into a shot glass. You might get lucky if your recording device allows you to manually set the recording level. Some units do this via the volume switch (effectively it serves two purposes). But some units don't have that feature. I have been able to do program recordings and playbacks using mini cassettes, mini discs, a Tascam portable digital recorder, etc. ________________________________ From: M100 <m100-boun...@lists.bitchin100.com> on behalf of Will Senn <will.s...@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, October 1, 2022 8:21 PM To: m...@bitchin100.com <m...@bitchin100.com> Subject: [M100] Will any old Cassette recorder work?
Has anyone recently done tape stuff? What's your setup? I have a Califone 3230 AV recorder with motor control, aux etc. Will that work, or would I need a Radio Shack branded setup? Thanks, Will
