format. This is not gentoo specific, but I don't know anything about this matters. Any tips/links-to-doc/pointing-to-the-right-direction would be appreciated! My sound card is >an Ensoniq 5880. Ok, best thing is to use a good cassette player like stand-alone stereo for playing cassettes. Then, 'bout capturing sources, I'd suggest to use a mixer between audio cassette player and your sound card, 'cause this can help to balance the audio level input. Third, about the line cable: Be sure to use the right cable: Here we have two kind of cable: balanced, and not balanced: if your card have a balanced line (useally it's so), and you use a not balanced cable, you could get wrong things: 'actually you could burn your audio card, be carefull ! P.S.: the last suggestion I have is about disgusting rumors: record a blank piece from your cassette (one blank piece from all your cassettes), then, register your cassette, and, finally, use the blank piece as a sample filter: this way, I experimented, you can wash out generic "white rumor" and, also, the specific "white rumor" produced by the specific cassette playback ;-)) P.P.S.: If you can, try to get help and Hope I've been something helpfull, Coda __________________________________________________________________ Partecipa al concorso Tiscali "collegati e vinci", il primo premio e' un viaggio per 2 persone a Zanzibar! http://point.tiscali.it/numerounico/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
