Your answer for my second question was something that I did take into consideration.
Most of the time, when I hear about mixers, recording music comes to mind first. Not spoken words.

In regards to my first question, I associate sound cards with desktops. You know? The SSA type? I'm talking archives.

But thanks for the clarification.

On the first question, whether a desktop, laptop or tablet makes little
difference to the discussion regarding facilities provided by a mixer.
That said, most if not all current laptops do not include a line in.
Therefore, even a basic mixer gets around that issue.  But to answer
your question, I use both desktops and laptops from time to time.


There are several circumstances where being able to record output from a
screen reader can be useful.  This week I recorded a tutorial for a
screen reader user on a tricky piece of software. To make it meaningful,
it was important that the screen reader's input be recorded along with
my description.


The possibility of Skype tutorials was raised here recently.  For that
purpose it is also very useful to let the person receiving instruction
hear what the tutor's screen reader is saying. Another purpose, albeit
that specialised software can do the job more elegantly, is to make a
recording of written material (being aware of copyright of course).

Hi, guys:

I've been reading your posts, and I was wondering. Are all of you using desktops?
No one has indicated otherwise.

And, why would you want JAWS to be included in a recording?

Just curious.

Hi Kristoffer


I was being ultra-conservative last night when I said I thought the Q302
would record both mike and screen reader.  I checked this morning and it
definitely does.  As you are using jaws, you will need to go into the
Control Panel and set the Q302 as the default card.  JAWS, and
everything else, will then come through it.


You may well have to do some juggling with the level in the Control
Panel and in Audacity to stop jaws from coming through too hot.


Make sure that you also set Audacity to record and play back through the
Q302.


I am surprised it did not work with the Xenyx 1202.  My guess is that
you did not set it as the default card.


When you first start switching between different cards it can be quite
confusing.  After some practice though it is something that can be done
quickly and easily.

Hi.
I'v got that mixer at home. thanks to you.
I tried to record Everything through usb, but that didn't work.
then I read that you cannot mix computer audio with live things.
so you can't record your screenreader and a microphone at the same time.
I wanted to get rid of the computers soundcard because it was so bad.
you almost can't play games at all using that.
if I shall carry this around I don't want a lot of Cables. as it is
now, I've got too much Cables to connect and disconnect.
I could buy an other usb soundcard, the usb host Powered mixer, but
then it is still very much to carry around.
as I said. the focusright card had all things I wanted, but not recording.

Hi.
I've got my behringer 1202 some months ago, and it works perfectly.
I bought a computer (msi gt72) with many audio Connections, and that was
great.
But I want something small I can carry with my computer.
the 1202 is not easy to have. because of the Power adapter and such things.
do you have anything to recomend?
I want to have live monitoring, like behringer 1202, so I hear what I'm
doing.
what would you recomend?
/Kristoffer
