The colors and finishes shown may vary from those on the actual products. Let us have a look at the most common methods you can use.
Using an analog cable is the easiest way to connect your computer to a receiver. Most computers come with a headphone jack that will come in handy here. Using analog cables is one of the inexpensive methods of connecting to an AV receiver.
Besides, you can find the cables at different lengths and even get extensions if you wish. Another advantage of analog cables is that they are versatile, and you can plug the headphone jack into just about any other device that can play music. When choosing the ideal analog cable for your compute-receiver connection, you have four options:. Although you can use these cables to send signals between different components, you should be prepared for the lowest quality video connection.
These cables transmit video and stereo signals from the satellite dish, cable TV jack, or antenna and work best by carrying signals from outside the home to your AV receiver. RCA cables are also called phono connectors and carry both audio and video signals. You get to choose between dual and multi-channel cable connections:. A dual RCA connection transfers stereo audio signals. The pair comes as shielded cables bound together and usually have red and white plugs on both ends.
To connect using this method, you will need to connect your end of headphones to the jack on your laptop and the other to the RCA cable. Connect the red and white plugs at the end of the cable to the ports in your receiver. To ensure the right connection, check that the plug and port colors match. Having the right connection will ensure the sound comes from the right direction.
Once you have everything set up, check the audio settings for the appropriate level. If you cannot hear any audio, set the headphones to default by clicking on the volume icon on the taskbar and selecting Playback. This option involves six or more conductor cables and is ideal for transmitting more than five full-range audio channels and a couple of subwoofer channels. Making a connection using multiple cables is similar to the dual method.
You only need to ensure you match the ports with the plugs. The three pins—one for the positive conductor, the other for the negative conductor, and the ground wire—all work together to deliver balanced audio. As such, it is one of the most common ways of connecting laptops or computers to the surround system. Using an HDMI cable should be your go-to alternative, especially if you are going after high-quality audio and video connections.
You will need to have HDMI ports on both your laptop and your receiver. Here are the steps you need to follow for a successful connection:. Using an HDMI cable to connect your computer to the surround system is the simplest and most convenient. You can even get cables of different lengths to make connections even easier. It transmits audio signals as light pulses through a fiber optic cable.
As is the case with other cables, making a connection is pretty straightforward, and you only need to follow these steps:. Using a Toslink cable is advantageous because it does not use electrical currents. Therefore, you should not experience any electrical or magnetic interference. USB cables come with different types of connectors, so it is best to be familiar with the types so that you can pick the ideal one for your equipment. Usually, the receiver will feature a USB-B connector.
When choosing the right USB cable, be sure to do some thorough research. A high-quality USB cable will reduce the timing errors that degrade the sound. One thing worth noting is that you cannot connect your computer to the receiver using the connector on the front. Manufacturers designed the USB connector for hard drives and media players. Besides connecting your PC to the receiver directly, you can set up a connection through your TV.
Using this method, you can even connect a surface tablet to your TV. You do not even have to worry about the display resolution and quality of images. All display ports can be connected with an adapter if your TV has different inputs than your computer can output.
Alternatively, you can purchase cables that have different ends, negating the need for adapters in the first place. At times they have to go to extreme measures which you and I are not just too lazy or uncoordinated enough to do, but also, not educated enough in the weird skill set required, to do.
Professional Audio archiving is a weird science requiring mechanics, chemistry, computer, math and manual dexterity skills. So if you have content that is really critical, you should at least consult a pro for pricing.
Of course, uncle Ralph singing "Like a Virgin" in drag may be a hilarious memory, but it may not be worth the price of a professional archiving job. Assuming you have the software you need, the first thing to do is check the buttons, switches and connections and get the deck ready to work with your sound card. When recording from the radio you should turn on the mpx filter.
If you are using home recorded tapes that are Metal or CrO2 you should change that setting appropriately. The Cassette decks output should go to the sound cards "Line" input usually color coded green not the Mic input. So, an adapter or cable with RCA to mini plug connectors will be necessary. The second thing to do in the recording setup process is to set up the tape deck output and sound card input so you have the maximum volume coming from the tape deck possible without overloading the input of the sound card or other audio interface.
On commercial tapes you generally don't have to worry about the cassette decks output level as much as with self recorded tapes, so you can often just just crank it up to maximum. This is certainly not true of all tapes, so be careful, monitor your levels and adjust. The reason for getting the maximum output level is that you want the lowest noise level possible on your digital recording.
Cassette tapes or reel to reel for that matter have limited signal to noise ratios compared to a good sound card. On the other hand, you don't want to crank things up too high to lower your noise "floor" at the expense of dynamic compression and distortion.
Raising the noise floor may give you a bit more "hiss" between songs, but that is usually pretty easy to eliminate using software on the computer. Eliminating distortion on the other hand, is extremely difficult if not impossible.
There is Pro level software that can do a reasonably good job of it, but it is very expensive, and no software like this is ever perfect. On self recorded tapes, you need to make sure the output is not too hot.
You should be able to determine overloaded output from the meters. Occasional momentary peaks just barely going into the red is often acceptable. Use your ears as your guide to some extent here, but don't bet your time on them. Finding out you have some ever so slightly distorted parts later on in the process means starting over from the beginning.
Not fun at all. Once sure of your output level, get your input level correct. Follow the same rules. Occasional peaks may be fine. You should definitely try a test recording or two when learning your sound cards meter accuracy. It is not uncommon, especially with built-in sound or inexpensive sound cards to have inaccurate metering. Listen carefully to the recordings for anything nasty. Digital distortion should be easier to hear than typical tape drive overload or the distortion on heavily distorted metal or grunge music, for example.
Big Note: Cassette tapes are fragile and lose sound quality due to stretching, fraying, residues and all sorts of other reasons. Don't expect to be able to clean up this sort of thing. It isn't the fault of the sound card if the tape is messed up. Monitor the tape decks output if you suspect the tape is damaged. OK, so now, presumably you are ready to record. Different software will use different procedures, but it's all pretty similar. First you "Arm" set record check box to on, not hit the record transport button on the tracks you want to record on.
A single channel is often set to record in stereo - read the manual or help file for your software! Monitor the input levels to make sure you're levels are ok. Some high quality cassette decks have a RTZ return to zero button which is really helpful to set up starting the tape just before the song starts.
Use it! You will want to Hit the record button on the software just before hitting "play" on the cassette deck. Stop recording when the song is done, or if you are recording a whole side at once, when the side is complete. Carefully monitor the results for distortion or noise levels.
