16. General information about recording.


PLEXTALK enables you to record live during lectures or conferences, and

from other media such as cassette tapes, CDs, television or radio. This

chapter gives you general information that applies to all recordings made

with PLEXTALK. Features that are specific to recording DAISY titles or

Music CDs, are described in Chapter 17 and Chapter 18 respectively.

Before recording, assemble the recording hardware you will need and

decide which input source you will use. With PLEXTALK you can choose

from the Build in Microphone, External Microphone or Line Input socket.
