Hi Walter,
Thank you for the reply, clears things up for me
somewhat, I know that I will have to play with cool edit a bit more
to get it all the way that I want it, one other thing I was wondering
was about the Optical line that came with the MD, isn't this for
digital recording and if so couldnt I use this as the minijack? And
one last thing I am concerned about would be my mic on my PC, should
I mute or dissconnect this so that it will not interfere with my MD
recording in cool edit? Thanks again.
Shaun.
