Yes, that is a problem. The only way that I have been able to get
acceptable quality taped recordings into digital format is to capture
from a tape deck into a digital converter box (we use Sony) processed in
Final Cut Pro on our G4 Power Macs . You get quality sound (or video for
that matter) that you can also edit.

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!
