Unfortunately, I bought a dell laptop because they said they were still using realtek audio and when I got it, the sigmatel audio (spelled wrong) would not work correctly with line in or any of our microphones. I am selling it. I need to record in the field and I need a good machine with mic and line in.
Any suggestions for laptops I can use for sound recording and editing would be appreciated...

Not all soundcards have that feature. Sigmantel doesn't have that feature so you willl need a program like total recorder. ****************************** Very funny Scotty ... now beam down my clothes ! robert Doc Wright http://www.wrightplaceinc.net msn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Click to call me http://me.vonage.com/robwright ----- Original Message ----- From: "TrueBlue & Proud" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 5:10 AM Subject: Re: sound editing? > Garry, I have a DELL desktop computer with on-board sound. > I don't know where or how to find the what you hear or stereo mix options, > > Billy, > Dinky Doo > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Gary G Schindler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> > Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 3:16 AM > Subject: Re: sound editing? > > >> this is done with the what you hear or stereo mix options through your >> sound card. >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "TrueBlue & Proud" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> >> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 6:43 AM >> Subject: Re: sound editing? >> >> >>> Bruce, I'm sure this is correct, but i don't understand how you can play >>> the >>> backing track in winamp, & record in goldwave. are you saying: you are >>> in >>> goldwave, you start recording in new sound file, then alt tab into >>> winamp, >>> and start the backing track, then alt tab back into goldwave and start >>> singing, sorry but i cannot imagine how that would work, >>> Sorry about this, >>> Billy >>> >>> >>> >>> ----- Original Message ----- >>> From: "Bruce Toews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> >>> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 8:42 PM >>> Subject: Re: sound editing? >>> >>> >>>> Okay, let me see if I can do a bit of a better job here.
