If you want to know why I didn't record via the line-in....here's the answer 'Recording via line in requires connecting the input device to the 'mic socket' via a Jones connector. I imported some Cinch Jones connectors from the US, and wired them up to RCA sockets but the sound recorded on the wire was clearer when recorded through the mic. I didn't include this section in the video because it was as dull as this explanation about it' ...and if you wanted to know why I didn't record the audio out of the headphone output....well the levels were very low and the sound had an audible whistle. So now you know, you can go back to having a lovely worry-free day.
