Hardware
considerations (cont.)
There are many other optional items you can use with
Cool Edit 2000. You can plug a microphone directly
into the back of most sound cards. You may need an
adapter to convert the 1/4" plug or three-lead XLR-style
plug to a 1/8" plug to do so. Such adapters are widely
available at stores like Radio Shack. You can also
plug a mixer into your sound card. This will enable
you to record multiple sources simultaneously and
normalize the input level from nearly any analog source
to a level your sound card will like.
If you want to transfer songs from a record player,
you will need to pre-amplify the signal and adapt
the plugs to go into your sound card. For example,
you could plug RCA cables to the Tape Out jack on
your home stereo amplifier and then use an adapter
to convert them to a 1/8" stereo mini-plug to connect
it to the Line In port on your sound card.
