i have to add to my previous posting
in the recording software you may have to block the play through /
patch through!!!!!
especially if in & out is connected to the same hardware
it could cause a high frequency feedback thus erratic audio level
behaviour

Hoping one of the keen audio techs can give me a hint or two please?
I have an old audio cassette, the track on which I want to turn into
a
digital file for burning to CD, DVD, etc.
At my disposal I have a 17" 1.5GHz Powerbook running 10.3.5.
I also have a Sony MiniDV Handycam DCR TRV17E. I thought the an
obvious 1st
step would be to connect the Handycam to the Powerbook via S-Video
cable.
I also have a c1982 vintage Technics RS-M205 tape deck on which to
play the
audio cassette. It has a couple of pairs of what I think are called
RCA
plugs coming out of the back, labelled Line In and Line Out. There's
also
another odd looking port labelled REC/PLAY, with whatever plug that
feeds
into it being about a centimetre diameter - I doubt that I'd have a
plug for
this anyway.
Presumably I take the RCA plugs at the end of the Line Out cord
(coming from
the tape deck) and plug them into something else - unfortunately the
Handycam lacks RCA jacks. (I do have what I think's called an A/C
connecting
cable, with a single jack into the Handycam at one end and three RCA
plugs
at the other end for connecting to a VCR).
So can I use an amp or DVD player as a link between the tape deck and
Handycam? Or do I bypass the Handycam altogether?
I have a NAD C 340 Stereo Integrated Amplifier

DVD-K45 DVD/CD
