Voicemails left after business hours are promptly responded to by a senior Just plug the device into the USB. The Macbook recognizes it immediately. Using a recording software I am using Garageband , you can now record your analogue data into the software.
But if you feed LP Recorder the loudest passage you're going to record before you actually start recording you can use Auto Level both before and after you click the record button , it can get the gain right with no effort from you.
LP Recorder spits out The INport's hardware seems to be perfectly happy delivering other sample rates, though; 48kHz worked when I tried it with other software. LP Ripper is another straightforward program; it's for splitting your single-file analogue recordings into tracks. If the recording has well-defined quiet spots between songs or movements or whatever, and no other quiet spots, then all you have to do is tell LP Ripper how many tracks there are and it'll pick the split points perfectly well itself.
If it's not that easy to pick the splits then you'll have to do it yourself, but LP Ripper makes the task easy enough. It can play you clips of the beginning and end of the tracks, it lets you adjust track length coarsely or finely via mouse clicking and by just typing in numbers, and you can also fade tracks in and out. When you're done, LP Ripper spits out a separate WAV for each track, with whatever name you entered - they'll default to all having the name of the source file plus a number.
This is where the functionality of the INport package stops, though, which is somewhat disappointing. I would have liked to have seen at least a basic "audio restoration" package as well, to help deal with clicks, pops, rumble, hiss and so on from old analogue recordings.
It's important to have an intermediate cleanup stage when transferring practically all old recordings to digital. But if you want to do that with the INport, you're going to have to use some other software. This isn't much of a problem, though. These days, it's pretty much impossible to buy a cheap CD burner that doesn't come with Nero or some similarly competent burning software, and free encoding software is similarly easy to find.
So it's no big deal that the INport bundle doesn't do this. The little INport box weighs about 81 grams 2. Here's the reason. Two relatively weighty isolation transformers sit between the input signal and the INport's A-to-D hardware, to provide ground loop isolation. This is a big plus, and worth money. Ground loops are common when people connect audio devices together; when shielded cables connect devices whose ground planes are at different potentials, current flows in the cable shield and the result is often an annoying hum.
Jaycar Electronics have a good PDF-format primer on this subject here , by the way. Xitel also sell a separate isolator box for use with other gear.

Does anyone have any experience using this particular device? Thanks Eric. Reply I have this question too 18 I have this question too Me too 18 Me too. All replies Drop Down menu.
