Okay, my interest in digitizing sounds is growing. What I am in search of are folks out there digitizing sounds onto their IIgs. My goal is to take sounds from TV (or VCR tapes) and turn them into sound files on the IIGs. Now, my problem is this - I do not know what hardware or software I need to do this. So, if you are involved with such a treat, would you either discuss this on the group or at least drop me email so that I can start putting together the appropriate tools?? Thanks! -- Larry W.

Well, I just use the little digitizer that came with HyperStudio. If I want to record a sound off of the VCR or TV, I do this: 1. Hook up my tape deck to the TV (via a little box that splits the sound into two wires). 2. Record the sound I want to digitize onto the tape. 3. Hook up a wire going from the earphone jack of my stereo to the microphone jack in the back of the computer (The wire and the microphone jack both came with HyperStudio!). 4. Use Sound Shop (came with HS) to record the sound. 5. Then, if I want, I can use Sound Studio to change it into a normal BIN sound file, and then compress it with ACER.

Larry, It's pretty simple to do. I own an Applied Eng SonicBlaster card and I grab sounds all the time from the TV (or VCR). All you really need is the card, the output device (TV, VCR, etc) and enough patch cord and converter plugs (easily obtainable from any Radio Shack) to go between your computer and input device. Things get a little more complicated (more wires, etc) if you want to monitor what you are digitizing as you do so, but nothing a child couldn't figure out. Again, you're main obstacle to getting digitized sounds is getting a digitizer board. -- Kevin S.
