Is that a mic. level input (based on the adjacent symbol shown on the Sony digital recorder) that you're feeding from a headphone output? If so, you need to be VERY careful with setting the player's volume control as you'll easily overdrive the input stage. Electronics suppliers used to sell an attenuating patch cable that would safely reduce the signal level when connecting a headphone or line level output to a mic. input. Also -- if you cue up the tape to about a second before the desired recording starts and press the tape machine's 'play' and recorder's 'record' buttons simultaneously you'll get a nice transfer that won't have a lot of dead space at the beginning. A similar technique can be used at the end of the recording to produce a cleaner digital file (in terms of minimal blank space).
I absolutely thought the same thing when I saw the mic symbol beside the input. With cassette players I find that is typically not an issue, as tape decks are typically pretty low level. But you are absolutely right about being careful about incoming level. That's why I suggested in the video that you should always start with the volume turned way down and gradually increase it to a desired level. I wish the ICD UX570 had some kind of input level control, but I guess at that price it would be expecting a lot.
Heyy, thanks for the video. When I tried to do it I was just able to hear it by one side, now I know that is maybe because my cable was mono. Anyways, I have a question. Is it possible to somehow record in 2 channels, like if I want to record a casete / my phone / whatever but I want my voice to appear on the recording? If you know what I mean...
Really good video. Would Roland R07 work the same way for digitilizing tapes to MP3 ? I know that older Roland 05 had a dedicated input for that, but the R07 model doesn’t ( it only has mic/aux - just one and the same port ) and the its manual does not say anything of recording from tape or CD ( the Roland R05 manual did say and even showed diagram how to hook up CD player to record into MP3 format ).. would you know if Roland R07 is capable of digitilizing recordings from tapes ? Thank you.
@@techreviewguy7771 thank, no problem.. another question.. when music from the casette tapes gets transferred to MP3 using Sony UX 570, have you noticed any loss of sound quality ? ( just a side note I have older type Sony MP3 player with FM radio, it is capable of recording from FM internally, I noticed some loss of sound quality, compared to the sound directly from FM).
Thanks for making! Exactly what I was looking for! Innovative use of equipment. Actually I will use this technique to record motorbike intercom communication.

Another excellent and very practical tutorial!!! I am now a subscriber!
Thanks for the sub!
Nifty little device! Itd be great for some of the old FM radio air checks
Yes, it would!

Great video ! Is the quality good with that particular recorder ? (no loss of quality)
Yes, very good quality. You can record in WAV.

Do you mean have your voice mixed in with the recording? Like DJing over top of a song? If so, you would need a mixer for that.

Sorry but I am not at all familiar with the Roland R07.

I do the same thing with the recorder
Yes, it works great in that regard.
Very good! But... On the cable, that's not a "jack", that's a "plug."
Good point!
Is there a way to type in a label for recording?
You can rename your tracks when you connect it to your laptop.
sony icd px 470 support this???? i will subscribe if u answer this

That sounds like a cool way to use it!
