when i wanna record a sample from my record player ihave to turn up my volume all the way then record it into the computer then i have to record it back into my 404 at a higher volume. sooo why is this? i want to record straight into my 404 via the built in rca cables from my record player.

It's because you're record player needs an amp to have full sound. Unfortunately the sp's don't have a pre-amp, so you'll have to run it though a receiver with an amp.

You can raise the input volume by assigning the isolator to the ext source.
just screw all CTRL to the right but take care of peaks...
it's not the best solution but it might help a bit...

Buy a phono preamp, nowadays about $50.



Or use an old stereo receiver or amplifier as a preamp.

for some reason i get the loudest volumes with lo-fi comp its way louder than the rest then again im still noobish and have focusing issues lolz

that's true but the isolator don't "change" ( / compress) the incoming sounds - it's a frantic trick so yeah... must be good...
It's like boosting the sound on a radio *all eq's up up up*

aw i c

Preamp or a mixer with one built in. I got an ok dj mixer I can sell ya for like $25 + shipping. If your interested it's a Behringer DX052, I got no use for it atm.

25 bucks? thats a good deal how much did you pay for it?

I think it was $75 new but I've had it for a couple years. Still in good shape just a scratch here or there.

I use the DX052. works just fine for sampling-$25 is a good deal

That will work fine, I had the same problem and I lifted the plate off my cheap ass turntable and found a pre-amp switch underneath which boosted the signal to a normal listening/sampling level. $25 bucks for a mixer is a good deal.

ok i have a mixer sweet.

Cool PM me your email addy and we can hash out the details.

any old stereo amp or reciever works great!

especially if it has eq .
