Just thought I'd post a picture of my recording studio in case any of you wanted to go into the business professionally and were looking for pointers on studio setup.

I came into possession of a few audiobooks on cassette (260+ hours of them!) and needed to turn them into MP3 files so I could put them into my empeg.




The tape deck is the original radio out of the ShoWagon, with wires soldered to the L/R channel outputs and terminated with a 1/8" min-plug jacked into my sound card. Power comes from the 12 volt motorcycle battery I use when I have the empeg on my bicycle. The battery charger is only plugged in between cassettes when battery voltage falls below 11.5 volts (two much 60-cycle hum otherwise) and the multi-meter keeps track of voltage for me.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rush or Rolling Stones or some other big group decided to produce their next album using my facilities.

I have that same multi-meter go Radio Shack

Nice.

Speaking of cassette to MP3, anyone tried one of these things yet?

Now that's a lot of Koontz.

Apparently the collective noun is a "mound" of ...oh sorry...Koontz, you say

Wow that looks just like the car stereo I got in my Ford Orion, it lasted the whole journey home from the dealers before I installed an MD deck instead. Is it a VFD display? Mine was LCD, but other than that they're identical.
