I do exactly that, using Cool Edit 2000. The following tips may help
1. Keep the recorder as far away as possible from the computer.
2. Use battery rather than mains power for the recorder.
3. Make sure no fluorescent lamps or other devices using transformers are
near the recorder.
4. Experiment with transferring recordings at different times of day. Here=
in S=E3o Paulo I get strong intereference from radio stations at night but=
not during the day.
5. I have a DAT recorder and get much less interference if I transfer to
the computer via the DAT. If you can stand the cost I understand that there=
are devices which will play your cassette tapes and send a digital output
to your computer.
