Subject:Listening while recording Posted by: griffinjay Date:12/11/2004 8:08:25 PM I'm transferring some old family audio tapes to my PC (WinXP),connecting the tape recorder's headphone output to my PC's microphone input. I'm using Sound Forge 6 to record/edit the transferred audio. It's working fine but I can't figure out how to listen to/monitor the sound while the tape is playing... helpful for figuring out when to stop/start the tape player as well as knowing when the tape ends. Seems like it should be obvious... but I'm stuck. Anyone have an idea?
