The GUI on this one takes some getting used to, but it's a powerful beast once you get the hang of it. Ebuilds are available for all three.

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] audio cassette -> digital
There's a good article in the latest Linux Journal about converting phonograph records to digital format. You might want to check their website - some of that might be applicable. --Tony On Tuesday 12 August 2003 07:08 am, Mueller, Andreas wrote: > i would suggest to use a audio cassette drive to play-back the cassette. > connect this drive to a line- input of your soundcard. then you should be > able to record with your favorite audio- recorder > > -Original Message- > From: Jorge Almeida [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 1:01 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [gentoo-user] [OT] audio cassette -> digital > > > I would like to convert the contents of an audio cassette to a digital > format.

Thanks to all the guys who answered. Assuming that I can get the hardware to work, what software to use to receive the signal from the sound card? I would need a hint about this before proceeding to read TFM :) -- Jorge Almeida -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] [OT] audio cassette -> digital
i would suggest to use a audio cassette drive to play-back the cassette. connect this drive to a line- input of your soundcard. then you should be able to record with your favorite audio- recorder -Original Message- From: Jorge Almeida [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 1:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [gentoo-user] [OT] audio cassette -> digital I would like to convert the contents of an audio cassette to a digital format.

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
