A question for the more technologically
able.
I attempted to copy a few bird calls from the
Simpson and Day CD to a portable cassete recorder, for personal use in the field
.
I tried what seemed to me the logical method of
connecting a cable from the speaker outlet on the computer to the microphone
inlet on the recorder. The result was the bird calls plus a howling noise
in the background.
Is the latter a result of the equipment I am using,
or is it something deliberately put on the CD to make copying
difficult?
I succeeded in copying what I wanted by simply
sitting the recorder in front of the speaker, but the result is poor. The
original has a lot of wind and other background noises and the copy
is worse.
