Could this cable be used to connect the headphone jack of a digital sound recorder to my computer in order to capture recordings as .wav or another file format? Am trying to avoid having to hold the sound recorder in front of the computer's mic and...

I assume that your computer don't have RCA input (the red and white plugs); it will not work. If you want to record from your recorder, find something like 3.5mm Male To 3.5mm Male Stereo Audio Cable; plug one end into your recorder audio output, the other end to your computer microphone input, and record the sound came out your computer speaker. you can find some instruction here http://it.usu.edu/tutorials/htm/recording-audio-from-your-computer and here http://www.techsmith.com/tutorial-camtasia-system-audio-prior.html . (the output is from your recorder)

Yes. I use the line-out in live and practice situations to run to a mix board. As far as cables, you can find 1/4" to USB adapters pretty inexpensively, as well as 1/4" to 1/8" (computer/headphone size plug). Either one of those should enable you to record a single instrument with Garageband. If you're looking to record frequently, or record more than one instrument, I would look into a interface, like the ones offered by M-Audio or Presonus (just search Amazon for "m audio interface"). With an interface, you would just need another 1/4" cable to run from the line out to the interface.

Yes, with two caveats: The output side (which does not provide power) is still XLR and needs some method of conversion (either Blue's Icicle, or an XLR to USB cable or a mixer with XLR input and USB-out or line-out to go to your computer's input).I use this with an XLR-USB cable (Mic -> Mic Input, Mic Thru -> XLR-USB cable -> computer) and while I lose out on perfect monitoring, it records beautifully and introduces no hum on 48V phantom power. If you have a good line-in on your sound card in your computer you would probably be better off with a mixer that provides 48V phantom power and a line-out.

I haven't actually tried this but you should be able to run a line from the headphone input to a computer and record it onto a multitracking program (like Audacity) and go from there.

No, I don't see how. This jack is just for a microphone with an XLR connection. I don't think most setups for recording phone calls would use that kind of mic. On the other hand, it would work if you used the mic to record a call using the hands-free speaker function on your phone.

I used this on a personal digital audio recorder, that had a dedicated MONO 1/8" jack to accept the mike. And it worked great. However (and I've never had an iPhone, so take this with a grain of salt) I don't believe iPhones have such a jack. I think the only jack you have on that device is that special 4-conductor jack for that slender, 4-section plug that provides for stereo headphones + mike. Of course, there very well might be an adapter for such a thing, and I'd look here on Amazon, and separately (like Meritline d-o-t c-o-m) for such a gizmo. Good luck!

You can plug it into another system through the headphone jack. I had mine sey up on my PC so I could make digital recordings of my tapes. You need a special sound card that takes such inputs, but it worked fine for me. Recordings could then be modified through audio editing software to make them sound good. :-) Hope this helps.

As with any computer, we recommend using a USB interface of some sort to convert your audio from digital to analog and buffer out any level or impedance issues associated with coming directly our of the headphone jack. The Technical Pro USB2RCA would do the job, then you can use RCA or RCA to 1/4" cables to connect to the mixer and have a line level signal to start with.

Cynthia, your PC should have two mini jacks, one for a mic and the other for a headset. plug it into the mic jack. The next challenge is figuring out how to get it to work. If you are using a MAC, I can't help, but ig you are using a PC running any version of Windows you may have to go to the speaker symbol on the task bar in the far right side on my systems, right click and open recording devices. To record you may want to load Audacity, a free sound audio recording/editor. My mic had a touchy on/off switch, but it works fine now. The Sound controls are also available in the Control Panel. Good luck. I live mine.

Yes. If you have a male line in at 2.5 mm and want to attach to a female line in at 3.5 mm, you should have no problems.I attached a 2.5mm microphone to this adapter and then plugged it in to my computer line-in (3.5 mm) and got stereo sound in for recording. Works with a headset/mic to my iPad for recording voice messages. Excellent choice for the price.

It is not a digital cable. It is an xlr connector, which is an analog microphone audio connector.

Yes. It's a regular headphone jack. I got it for my iPhone to record audio. I suggest after getting it take off the metal clasp/spacer for a better connection.

Yes, I have two cables that connect my camcorder to my computer. One is short and one is long; however, you will need to ask the company or the person you are buying your camcorder from if this cable is included with your purchase. Don't forget to get a camcorder with an external mic jack (for quality audio recording) since many of the newer camcorders I've seen don't have this feature.

Maybe...I never got it to work very well and I hate the software it comes with. Any reason not to just use the line-in jack on your sound card? Check out free Audacity software for the recording / editing. Be careful where you get it though, some links have been hijacked...

Don't know about the microphone cable - but I used this to take some high end headphones (1/4") to listen to my music from my computer. So - the 3.5 works as an input into the headphone jack - and I believe that they are the same size as the mic jack. Sorry not much more help - but that is how i used it.

We bought several of these for the express purpose of recording wiring instructions on computers. First of all, let's make sure it does what you think it does. It is a microphone that you put in your ear. It hears both sides of the conversation. That microphone needs to plug into something which records. your computer can do that with software, as long as you plug the microphone into a microphone jack on it. Windows comes with "Sound Recorder", or you can download Audacity or any of a bunch of other applications. You may need to open the microphone properties and set the volume and boost all the way up to get reasonable volume on the recording.

Yes, this cable will allow you to transfer high resolution audio files. Thank you for your interest in dCables!
