| 1176672 | 2011-02-09 17:23:00 | Back in the good old analog times I used my cassette-walkman for this: pressing REC+PLAY would cause the device to not only record my mic input - my voice - on the tape, but also to simultaneously feed my voice to the headphones, thus enabling me to hear myself speaking as another person would: objectively, I suppose. I used this technique when talking to my Japanese GF and friends to check and improve my own Japanese pronunciation. I also remember foregoing the tape altogether (for the sake of privacy): I'd remove the cassette, then press REC+PLAY while holding down the little lever that normally is pushed back by the record-protect tab on the cassette, to 'trick' the device into feeding me my own voice without recording anything.. Anyway, FFWD to the digital age: now I'd like to be able to do the same thing using my PC, but it seems that it is not so simple.. Do I need some extra software to Listen to my own voice via the headphones as I speak to the microphone (in real time)? Thanks! |

| 1176673 | 2011-02-11 00:58:00 | Hey FutureTiger, I'm not too sure how to go about this exactly (i.e. through headphones) but I have noticed if you enable Microphone Boost in Recording Controls in the Mixer (should be a tick box) and you turn up the speakers most of the way up you can hear your voice (or tapping) through the speakers. Hope this helps :) By the way, welcome to PressF1 :) |

| 1176674 | 2011-04-18 16:06:00 | Thank you for your suggestion, but I wonder, is it platform-specific? I have Win XP and this does not work for me... besides, even if it did, it would not allow me to listen AND record, correct? | FutureTiger (16227) | ||
