tim your completely correct. because you are dealing with an analogue signal, it makes absolutley no difference whether your plugging a lead into your sound card or connecting a device directly into your computer.
noise from tape decks usually comes from a number of different sources. it can be something as simple as dirty heads in the machine to having to many cables touching each other which can cause a low hum or rumble noise. the only thing that i can see that this device may bring is that you don't have to keep moving cables and tape decks around, but surely it would be a lot cheaper to purchase a reasonable tape deck, plug it permanently into your sound card and leave it in the one spot. each to their own i guess. marco. _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
