 OK thanks - perhaps the mic I tried was just not very good. I am using Roc=
kbox already
as you can adjust the levels as you are recording. My understanding of the =
line-in is that
although there is a sort of software-based gain control it is not all that =
good, and so the
line in is not as good as a mic in on, say, a MD recorder because it introd=
uces a lot of
noise.  However, it is good to hear that you have had success with a decent=
 mic.

Thanks for the help,
Sean
