We have faculty who would like to record from cassette directly into our
Language Lab computers using LINE IN.

While it does record, the audio quality is very poor, unacceptable for their
use. Has anyone dealt with this problem before? Is it because we are
bringing analog sound into a digital source? If we invest in higher quality
sound cards will this help?

I'm not worried about formats or compression, etc at this time. Once I get
higher quality .wav files I can deal with converting them later.

Any insight you can provide would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
