Lap Top Sound Card

Post by Sonny Jenkins »

I don't have a line in or RCA plugs on my laptop,,,I have to record LPs using a stereo mic jack (which is actually mono). Is there a pcmcia card with line in or preferably rca jacks so I can record analog to digital in stereo?

USB audio interface

I haven't tried this unit, so I can't make a recommendation, but it looks like it will do what you need. At the price, I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try.
With the ultra-compact, bus-powered Behringer U-CONTROL USA202 interface, you can link your Windows or Mac computer with any audio gear. There is no setup or special driver needed. Simply plug the interface into an available USB port on your computer and get into the groove.

The UCA202 provides 2 analog inputs and outputs, as well as an additional S/PDIF optical output for direct digital conversion. The stereo headphone output with dedicated level control lets you monitor both input and output. And the cherry on top is that the U-CONTROL download area offers a huge software package for recording and editing.
