Comment: Hey guys, im trying to learn how to teach an elderly gentleman how to record and edit music with Cool edit pro....how i know how to do all this but for soem reason when he hooks up his guitar or piano to Line-in on his comp it dosnt record anything???
all i need is info on how to connect his guitar/piano or mic to his computer to record with Cool Edit pro, after that i can handle it.
He has an AMD motherboard with an AMD athlno 1000 and windows 98 /256MB PC133
He has integrated sound and a new vid card he uses for his simulation games and crap.
How can i direct him in the right direction, plz help?

Reply: (edit)Thx but i tried that
He's got three plugs (speakers,Mic,Line in)
Now i was assuming the Line-in was the one but it didnt work, i also tried the mic but that didnt work.
Now for some reason when he even tried to turn on his electric piano it wouldn't turn on...He sayd he used to have it set (before his nephew messed with it) so that he could play the guitar and would hear it coming out his speakers EVEN if no programs or anything were open (i remember my mic was once like this) I dont know how toconfigure the seetings
Anyone know of anything plz hlep me out Thx in advance!!!

Reply: (edit)Just to reassure you ... The guitar 'should' connect to 'Line in' and the microphone (of course) to 'Mic'.
But you need to double click the sound icon in the Systray and make sure the 'Mic' and 'Line in' playback AND recording volume controls are not turned down or muted.

Reply: (edit)My piano was connected to my computer via the piano's MIDI connection which then connected to the Sound Card Joystick/Midi input. It was fine. I'm thinking, if you have an Amp for your guitar, plug your guitar to the amp and rig up wires to plug from your Amp's headphone jack to your sound card input. So it's two headphone jacks on both ends. If the piano doesn't have Midi outputs, try pluging that rig of two headphone jacks and use it for the piano just like the Amp setup I gave you. (Little work but I do these things myself and it's fine) Not THE way to do it but it works. Abit AN8 Socket 939

Reply: (edit)Right click in the system tray and edit the volume properties for line in/mic, then go in volume control still Options>Properites
Then select adjust options for RECORDING. Hope this helps,
