from TB-303 resources mailing list -------[ http://www.tb-303.org ] ---------------------- Hey Shaz, by the way, just tried connecting my 303 to my computer line-in (I have a cheap Soundblaster 64 sound card) It sounds just fine, I do not get the noise that you have, or the distortion/overdriving that you have. So Trevor probably hit it on the nose with his diagnosis.......
