Re: tape digitizing

["Marc Myers" primatemarc]

You will save steps if you purchase a device that converts audio to digital=
 and then feeds that into your computer via USB or firewire such as M-Audio=
 Fast Track Pro. This way all is completed in one step. An external device =
is preferable to an internal card because the electronic environment of the=
 computer also can add noise to the analog signal. There are a large number=
 of such devices at many price points. The best bet is to go to a music sto=
re, shop and compare. All modern devices will digitize at rates much greate=
r than the background noise of your cassettes.
