transfer trouble
I'm also trying to move some cassette recordings to my computer so that I can post on a website. I followed the advice given here about the Y cable and was successful in that respect, but the transferred sound is terribly distorted. I've played around with the settings and nothing seems to work. Unfortunately, from what I've read on this site, it could be my sound card. I own a Sony Vaio laptop computer. It doesn't have a "line-in", only a "mic-in" as an input device. I downloaded the trial version of Cool Edit and received the same results in terms of quality of sound. I've also read that I need to use a preamp in order to make direct digital recordings to my computer. Can someone advise me as to what I should be using i.e., new sound card, preamp or both so that I can transfer from my stereo equipment to my computer?
Thanks
