the magnet in the speaker will not only erase the recording on the tape it will leave magnetized spots on the tape where the speaker touched. The tape will then need to be demagnetized before being used again .

You must inform the person that you are recording the conversation or a beep sound must be made every 15 seconds on the conversation so the person  knows you are recording.  This doesnt apply if it is from a recorded message that some one leaves on your message machine.

I checked with our HR Dept and was told YES it is illegal for anyone to record conversations without telling the other person they are being recorded. I would report this "boss" to the HR Dept as soon as possible,sounds like somebody is trying to use people in your office against others,or things against employees for personal gain. NOT a good thing, maybe you should look for a new job? A new job,new year? Maybe a good thing for you. Good Luck will be praying it works out for your best interest.

It is absolutely imperative that you get a lawyer if they are trying to prosecute him without showing you the tape. I mean lets be honest...If they are so sure he did it, why is it such a problem for the tape to be displayed. In my opinion, that tape would rule out all reasonable doubt!

I am aware of cases where it was very fortunate that an audiotape was made of certain meetings.  While the IEP meeting is meant to be collaborative and cooperative, I am aware that many parents in both Canada and the US do not find them to be that way.  \n\nMany people here have given excellent advice.  My only comments would be to reinforce that you should let people know you are taping the meeting.  It is your child that is being discussed and you have a right to have an accurate record of the discussion, but do so with tact and diplomacy, presenting a logical reason for doing so, and it shouldn't be a problem.

Warning, using your microphone through your PC in this style to hear direct through your speakers may cause audible feedback (squeals and loud whistles). You should use a proper amplifier that has a small time delay to avoid feedback. You should only use a PC microphone for recording or Internet telephony as it was intended for. Good Luck!

Wireless internet? Yes, it could interfere. Speakers? Yes, it'll make odd static type noises from any speaker that's near it. Never have figured that one out. Monitors? Yes, it'll interfere with a crt monitor, make it all wavy for a second, kinda fun to watch. The rest of your computer? No, nothing. And none of that stuff is doing any damage to anything, it's temporary interference

Once again, a bunch of people answer who don't understand the law. Since the rules concerining the legality of recording a conversation are heavily dependent upon the facts and circumstances in evidence, it is impossible to accurately answer your question, because you haven't provided any case facts.\n\nHowever, if you go to: \n\nhttp://www.rcfp.org/taping/\n\nyou can get a pretty good overview of the laws applicable to your situation. \n\nAnd, if you're still concerned, then you need to contact an attorney in your area.

You have to send the sound too. Look for the sound where it was originally stored and send it to whoeveryou want to have the presentation with sound. To make it easier, always store the sounds in the same folder as the presentation.

I'm a certified audio engineer and audio enthusiast, and would love to help!\n\nThere could be a multitude of problems here, and the fact that you are describing a speaker set-up for PC makes things a little more complicated.\n\nFirst question:  What makes you think your rear speakers aren't working?\n\nIf your answer is "There is no sound", this is doesn't neccessarily mean your speakers aren't working.  Sound is not supposed to eminate from the rear speakers 100% of the time.  They add ambience and directional cues.  Also, sound will not come from the speakers if the audio for the software you use isn't encoded for 5.1 (or greater) audio.  \n\nThe same is true for Home Theatre set-ups; not all movies are encoded to tell the surround processor to send audio signal to the rear speakers\n\nThat said,\n\nThe first thing to check:  Make certain all of your speakers are connected propery.  Depending upon what sort of system you purchased, some speakers can be directly connected to your soundcard, some need to "daisy chain" in order to work.  That is, one speaker must connect to the another, and that connects to another, etc.\n\nNext, check all your volume controls.  How many do you have?  Every single one must not only be on (not muted) but the more controls you have, the more you need to be aware of how they're set.  In other words, the first volume control should be at max, or near max to send a strong signal to the next control.  This will represent the loudest level you want to hear.  The next control should be slightly lower or equal.  If it is greater than the first, then you increase hiss as well as volume.  Not good.  Continue until you get to the last.  This will be the master volume, and this is the only control you should use to adjust volume.  \n\nYou have control panel volume.  Do your speakers have their own volume knob?  What about the sound card- is there a control you need to activate?\n\nOf course, this is assuming all the software and hardware is compatible with one another.\n\nIf possible, swap the rear speakers with your front speakers, and test to see if they are working.  That would eliminate defect in the speakers, as well as the wire leads connected to them.\n\nFinally, make certain you have installed all required drivers to run your sound card.\n\nIt's a little difficult to offer advice without knowing more specifics regarding what sort of system you have.  Hope this helps a little.\n\nGood luck.

Please do not try to record incoming webcam, it is dangerous because you are playing with other people's privacy.  Please respect other people's privacy....

I like a program called "Audacity".  It is free software.  I've never had a problem with it.\n\nI know someone else who has reported problems, but that particular person is well known to be an absolute moron, so could very well be a bad data point.

as pointed out different state different laws.. \n\nmy gut tells me that if you are taping your property.. you can do as you please.. your post doesnt say "what" you are taping these guests doing.. for whatever reason you are taping them for.. whether it be a babysitter sneaking around looking for money.. or a wild night.. i suggest that you and only you view that tape.. \n\nthere could be some legal repricussions if you distribute it... but then again.. your post doesnt really specify a purpose for taping to begin with.. so i wont go in to defamation of character and extortion laws at this time..\n\ntaping police officers?.. i think a better issue to address is why police officers feel the need to frequently visit your house.. i stand by my answer that you can tape anything you want on your property.. but trying to "catch" police officers in the act of doing something can have some bad repricussions.. if there is in fact something illegal (excessive use of force) being done at the hands of police.. i think you should discuss this matter with internal affairs before you start setting up cameras.. \n\n>>but i still dont understand why police officers are coming in your house.. i think you need to weigh in your own credibility as well... i think there is a lot more to this story that can be put on this forum..

use a program called LP RECORDER, plug your tape player into the INPUT jack of your soundcard. It works slick

No, there isn't.\n\nWell, I mean in theory you could play the tape at high speed and digitize the sound. Then use some audio manipulation software to slow it down, before you burnt it to a CD. But the quality of the sound would be greatly reduced and I'm sure you'd have a hell of a time adjusting the speed of replay to get it just right.\n\nI doubt it would be worth your time to try.

its not as effective as you may think, your gonna need to be able to hear the other person over the noise. may i suggest standing next to an older running generator, as the noise both audible and inaudible should scramble a long range mic.\n\nbut as stated above try moving the conversation to a more secure area, be it in a large drainage pipe, or a vehicle. any place is more secure than out in the open

A person can be taped on a phone by the other party.  As long as ONE person, meaning you or the other perosn you are talking to is doing the recording, it is legal.  For someone else outside of law enforcement to do it, it is very illegal.  (i.e neighbor, ex-boyfriend, brother, sister examples such as these are illegal)
