My mother in law works for the local school district... they need to be able to make recordings of discussions for records. Then, at times, they must provide copies of these discussions for court hearings (special ed crap, the parents want everything and sue when they don't understand their precious child has an IQ of 70).

However, I have a memory problem... it's been so long since I dealt with these things... if the recorder has a headphone jack and a mic jack, the two should be connectable and that's that. The data off one will go to the other and be recorded... right???

Thanks!!!!

So your asking if the head phone jack has a adapter that can be plugged into a mic jack so it can be recorded onto another tape? Yes, that should be true.

that's my thinking... thanks!

It probably won't be a super clear recording....Mic levels and Line levels are different.

can't volumes be adjusted?

The thing is, I can't find duplicating equipment for under $400.00.

Wait a min. Why dont you just get a tape recorder that has two cassette slots? I used to dub like that all the time. Press play on one and dub on the other. It would usually have a dub switch. About 10 years ago they were all over the place.

They don't make such a thing for microcassettes... did I forget to mention that? damn... sorry...

yea, they are going to microcassettes...

Yeah, you left out that little tid bit. LOL

yea... sorry 'bout that...

Have you considered using a computer with some recording software?

that would be ideal... but the district has very stupid people in charge... it ain't happening.

HAHAHA!! No worries mate

so can I get away with a jumper cable between the mic and headphone jacks?
