The noise is caused by the Analog to Digital conversion. Internal computer components (I believe the fan, but don't hold me to that) cause the noise while the soundcard converts from analog inputs to digital. You should have no problem using an outboard converter. There is no conversion when putting a digital signal into the computer through digital I/O. > > Hook up record player to digital i/o box to sound card. Load Sound > > Forge; click record.

You may want to if you cannot get a high enough level going into the computer. It is one more component that may cause noise, though. I usually boost the levels in the computer where relevant. >My record player has two connections (L & R). The converter you mention >only has one (S/PDIF) in? > >http://www.axemusic.com/products/audio/recording_hardware/computer/midiman_flying_calf24.htm : hmm: That is a Digital to Analog device, not analog to digital. If your record player has digital outs, you can skip the "in-between" device. I have no idea if that specific one goes both ways; mine is specifically analog to digital. The latest version of the Flying Calf seems to do a lot more than my older model, including analog to digital and digital to analog conversions: <http://www.midiman.com/products/m-audio/cow.php> <http://www.midiman.com/products/m-audio/images/cow640.gif> It also has a "level" signal which you can use to boost the levels of your record player before going into the computer. It may be helpful if you avoid the receiver and go direct into the PC. -- Jeffry Houser | <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> AIM: Reboog711 | Phone: 1-203-379-0773 -- My Books: <http://www.instantcoldfusion.com> -- We Provide The Soundtrack to your Web: <http://www.fcfstudios.com> -- Original Energetic Acoustic Rock: <http://www.farcryfly.com> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
