Title: Looking for something to go from my UA-5 to PC
Post by: mmadd29 on April 03, 2008, 09:09:33 AM: I'm looking for something that I can use to do laptop recording. I would like something that I can take my digital out from my UA-5, and connect to my laptop via USB.

I want the UA-5 to do the A/D and just have the box transfer the digital signal.

What do they make?

the ua5 will convert the analog signal to digital and export it over the usb/coax/optical outs

other then that you need a lappy that can keep up with the ua5 usb signal and capture it with a program like audacity

I did the digi mod.....I read that it disables the USB

yes and no
it disables the usb from being able to accept a signal from a pc but not from sending the signal to a pc

Post by: jonohull on April 06, 2008, 06:27:20 PM: I do this all the time. Just use the USB cable to go to your lappy. I use Audacity, and just go into the preferences, and select the recording device as the UA-5.
