Thanks for the report Olivand. I'm getting ~4-6X
transfer rates using usb with a 286Mhz PC laptop
which could even be cheaper than buying VPC. The
quality improvement with the digital transfer can
be quite significant as you're skipping the a
d->a and a->d steps and additional amp noise.
I've noticed the analog tranfser is much harder
to work with when soundfile saturation is low as
is often the case natural ambience. Rob D.
