Connect that to the headphone socket on your speakers, or the speaker port on your soundcard.

Jon, I know for a fact you know more about fashion than I do.

coheneran 09-01-2006 11:30 AM

You need to be more than fashion-wise to be a queen. Jonni's not a queen yet because he's still closetted.

Jon 09-01-2006 11:45 AM

lmao, eran, you just wish you could get into my pants you prick :p

I know absolutely nothing about fashion, I guess I just tend to have a creative mind and that extends to the stuff I wear.

coheneran 09-01-2006 11:48 AM

ARGH! I can't find another double>single jack anywhere! I tried recording with a single>single jack straight from the sound card to the walkman, but the quality on that is worse than open air, so I thought I'd hook the walkman into the amp, and record from my PC into the walkman via the amp, but I need another double>single for that damnit!

Danger Bird 09-01-2006 01:31 PM

I have my computer going into the aux input on my receiver, so I can just record computer songs on my tape deck. You could take a cable with red + white prongs on one side and a standard male headphone jack on the other and plug your walkman into one of the tape inputs on the receiver

Wait, that might be exactly what you said you are trying to do. Was it?

Yes it was.:p

Prong? Male? Jack? What is this, Homoerotic Sublimination Day?

sketchyjoe 09-01-2006 02:08 PM

It is every day with you around.

World Burns To Death 09-01-2006 02:13 PM

oh lawdd

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]It is every day with you around.[/QUOTE]

Well pwned.

I found another double>single and I'm now recording The Promise Ring - Make Me A Mixtape onto the mixtape I'm making for my friend in Sheffield. Fingers crossed the sound quality will be good.

EDIT: DAMNIT! All it came up with was a bunch of static. Any ideas?

Jon 09-01-2006 03:33 PM

Gain - turn down the Output level in the sound control thing. Then roll d20 to determine if it will work, LOL

coheneran 09-01-2006 04:08 PM

[QUOTE=Jon]Gain - turn down the Output level in the sound control thing. Then roll d20 to determine if it will work, LOL[/QUOTE]

There isn't one for output, but there're 2 for input; one for Aux1 and one for Aux2. D20 says yes, but I have a -5 penalty for no previous sound-engineering experience, so it comes under 10, looks like I lose.

Jon 09-01-2006 04:11 PM

I assume you're using windows.

The volume control. In the system tray. Click that. The one labelled 'volume control'. Turn that down to maybe 50% and try again.

coheneran 09-01-2006 04:18 PM

Should I just try and stick a single>single from the PC speaker output into the walkman input?

Jon 09-01-2006 04:36 PM

Why not.

coheneran 09-01-2006 04:53 PM

Didn't work.

Danger Bird 09-01-2006 05:04 PM

Just use CDs, god obviously hates you too much to allow you the analog pleasures of cassette tape.

coheneran 09-01-2006 05:11 PM

I'll record it on CD, then use my friend's decks to stick it onto tape!

Danger Bird 09-01-2006 05:15 PM

I'm glad somebody else is using tape. I never use CDs anymore, it's records at home or tapes when I need portable audio or a mix.

Twin Human Highway Flares 09-01-2006 10:11 PM

I would buy/listen to vinyl and tapes exclusively if my main method of listening to music wasn't iTunes. Once I get the vinyl ripping system set up, I'll be in business. I feel like a poseur if I have the choice between CD and vinyl and go for CD.

Same here. Vinyl's got a infinitely cooler feel to it than CD's, but it's just not as practical.

I bought a wool jacket for 11 $ yesterday. It's pretty sweet, but it's a bit big, so I might try to bring in the bottom, so it's fitted with a narrow waist. 'Cept I have no idea how to do stuff like that. I was also thinking it would be sweet to line the sleeves with microfleece or something, cuz it's kind of rough wearing short sleeves underneath.

I will probably end up doing nothing with it, though.

Twin Human Highway Flares 09-02-2006 12:21 AM

I made some cutoffs awhile ago and held onto the cut off parts, thinking I was going to make patches out of them, but I decided today to use them to make a holster for my TI-84+ for use on a utility belt I'm making. I haven't decided on what else to really put on the belt, but I think it'll be quite awesome.

AK47 09-02-2006 12:31 AM

Utility Belt! Radical Batman!

I made a patch of that picture a few days ago. Your shirt owns my patch.

Rise Me Up 09-02-2006 02:14 AM

haha thanks.

Ender_ 09-02-2006 07:51 AM

that looks like a clean job man. Nice. :)


A holster for a calculator? hXc, nice job. ;)

Rise Me Up 09-02-2006 12:49 PM

Thanks man.

asdf 09-02-2006 11:05 PM

I've made it so my shoes can last even longer than they already have past their life expectancy.

Does anyone have the problem where the bottom part of their shoe can completely separate from their shoe like this:

Because if that's ever the case, gorilla glue is your best bet. It really worked great for me. I had tried using a hot glue gun a few times before, but that doesn't work at all.

Then I started sewing up the big holes in the sides:

I know these shoes aren't worth saving... but I'm very attached to them.

Yeah, man, I got my computer going into the AUX of my receiver, so I can take all the files I download and make mix tapes.
