Hey gang...I know this is not the right place to post this, but it has the most traffic and perhaps some of you might shed some light on this. I have two hi-fi vcrs hooked up to thier respective places on the back of the units. It works but with one small snag. When I play back what I recorded the music sounds all wavy and out of tune. These are things I had recorded off the air. Tracking issues perhaps? Any help would be greatly apprciated.

Assistance with VCR to VCR dubbing...
- Thread starter The Youngest Oldie
- Start date
Try a different tape to record on...if it still does it, then switch the in/out on the vcr's make sure you have the l/r matched up so they are in sync........if it still does it you might try putting the audio thru a mixer board or amp of some kind.....if it still does it burn it to a dvd or vcd on your computer. (got a buy a program to do that!)
Buy an RCA/3.5 mm cable (like this one for less than $1) and hook the VCR to the line in port on your computer's sound card. Record with Sound Recorder (comes with Windows but you have to hunt for it: sndrec32.exe). Then use something like CDex, LAME, or even iTunes to compress the wav down to mp3.
Try making sure that you include some sort of stable VIDEO on the dub. VCR's were, of course, a video format, even though many people liked to use them to record long audio programs. If there's no VIDEO, the audio can get all wobbly.
Just use the "yellow" input and make sure it has a valid signal coming in to it - from anywhere - (a cable TV source, a videocam turned on), and record the audio with the red/white inputs hooked to the playing video's red/white outputs.
