Can you use a laptop with a line-in jack to record from this device? Any recommendation for recording software?

If your line-in input is compatible with the connector on this device it should work acceptably. Software recommendations I will not make, I have several programs and none work entirely to my satisfaction, I use parts of several depending upon the application and what I wish to accomplish.

recording from rca to micorder is easy, you can then transfer recording to your laptop via usb. you may be able to send recording to your phone with email just use your phone number as address, good luck

Why would you bother? Impedance changes, XLR versus mini line level changes, more possibilities for bad mechanical connection. Consider borrowing a digital recorder with XLR input, if the microphone is important for the application. If this is your only available recorder (and it's a good one), then prepare to deal with noise or dropouts.

Yes. It comes with a software program that allows you to do that. Just make sure you adjust the microphone settings to the ion device otherwise it also captures the sound from your laptop mic. I had this issue but is an easy fix once you learn more about the software.

I don't know what that is... But, basically, if your software allows recording from a microphone plugged into your computer's 'line in' or 'microphone' jack and it's a 3.5mm type (the most common), then you should be fine. Keep in mind, though, that the cord is only 3 feet, so if your computer's input jack (mentioned above) is in the back of your computer, then it might not reach.This microphone is mainly useful for camcorder use (Because the built-in microphone on most camcorders do not record sound very well, or, even if they do, they pick up all of the sounds in the room rather than mainly your voice).FH I don't know what that is...

You can get hardware that allows you to record onto the computer. The hardware is a memory hog. Or maybe it is software.

There is a line-in that can be used for recording. There is also an xlr input. While I have never used them, I am sure the sound quality should be ok. I would recommend the wearing of a headset to listen for residual sound that may be adjusted out using the mixer.

You need 'line level' not 'mic level' inputs on the PC, otherwise the signal will be way too strong and, thus, distorted (mic output is much lower than line output). Most basic PCs, especially laptops, have 'mic in' and not 'line in' (the laptop I'm typing this on right now doesn't even have a 'mic in'). If you have a soundcard with 'line in' inputs, then you could do it. Having said all that, it might be possible to adjust the signal with Audacity using 'mic in', so that it doesn't distort, but I am guessing. I just know from using Cakewalk (precursor to Sonar) in the old days that it didn't work like that. You could try it and report back on your experience, good or bad.

Not that I recommended this device - I returned it. But, which line out are you using from your receiver? Normally for this type of operation you would take the "record" line out

yes, attach with a 3.5mm auxiliary cord, then look for the sound recorder on your computer, the process is quite easy.

Does your HDTV have an HDMI out port or at least component cables to hook up to the input of the DVD recorder? I doubt it does so it is highly unlikely that you could record from the TV. In order to be able to record anything you need an input source that has its own tuner, or cancels the need for a tuner, as this recorder does not have one built in, but without some type of input source there will be nothing for the recorder to record

I haven't tried it that way I used a digital recorder to record off the phone unscrupulous business so I also have a record of the conversation for myself. From the digital recorder it was a simple task with a mp3 player to play back the file and copy it on any computer for save keeping. You for a laptop would need to have to activate a recording program and then select this device for the input and output not real clear cut like a digital recorder with is a direct connection. Have a tech head buddy help you most windows or linux OS have these utilities available in them.

You can record directly to a PC using the G5. You may have to do some research online to see how others have done it.

I think I read somewhere, or saw a YouTube vid that explained that plugging a Lavalier mic directly into a PC using the mic jack doesn't produce good results because there is no power. Seems odd that connecting to an iPhone works great, but not a laptop, but that's what the article said. I use the Rhode when recording to my iPhone, and it is superb. For recording to Camtasia I use a USB mic.

Yes, Just plug the phone jack in the laptops headphone out and the XLR end into the microphone input. But beware of these cables. I've found that they create a great deal of unwanted noise.

I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer. I have now tried a couple of ways and as the other poster had said, it did not work. I plugged it into the mic jack on my laptop. I then tried recording with 1) Sound recorder (under Microsoft Accesories) and with 2) Audicity. For Auditicy, I verified it could record fine w/o the mic and made sure I had the source input for auditcity be a microphone. so it appears the other poster is correct - but if you know some trick, please post so the rest of us can use it! (or if you realize you were mistaken, it would help us to know that too.) Thanks much. I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer.

Don't know for sure, but it may be possible to get a male-male cable that you could use to go from the earphone output on the recorder to the microphone input on your laptop.
