You'll likely need a 1/8" male-to-male stereo adapter cable (the stereo nes have two rings on the 'business' end of the cable AFAIK) and plug one in to the sound card and the other to the line out jack on the source. Most stereo stores (radio shack for instance) will stock most adapter cables. Use a gui mixer (kmix for instance) to experiment and set levels etc. 'rec' is about as good as any for recording audio; all you have to do is set the # channels and file type, and then record -- hit ctrl-C to finish the recording. Use a 'temp' file (i like wowie). The neat thing is that you can simply recall the last 'rec' command used in the shell if you need to do repeated trials. There are some OK editing s/w packages out there (I've used mxv with some succuss) but I'd just play with rec (and play) now - once you got the recording down pat you can play with the editing stuff. > Rog
