HELP! VERY URGENT!

[Bobcat102122]

This problem has been plaguing me for awhile. I have made a demo tape with a Tascam Porta02 ministudio. Simply put, this is what I want to do: I want to correctly connect the tascam to my computer (stock sound card with Miniplug input) record the songs with the program Quartz audiomaster, so I can burn them to Cd.
I am connecting the porta 2 to the computers line input with a cord that came with the car kit to my sony discman. One side has patch (L and R) inputs, while the other has a stereo mini plug that fits right into my computer.

While I play back the tape the sound coming through the computer speakers is fine, but when I play back the finished recording it is Way too fast, and it is like clipped and garbled... it's not legible music as far as im concerned... total noise...

so I suppose what I'm asking is what can I do about this? and how can I do it the right way??? please respond quickly, I'd like to get this problem out of my hair.

Thanks in advance,

~Bobcat

Make sure that you are plugged into the LINE IN not the MIC IN.

Make sure that the "recording volume control" in your computer is not set too high.

Actually, you should check all of your volume controls (playback and recording).

I am not familiar with the program Quartz Audiomaster, but you might have to change the project tempo bpm's.

Or maybe you should adjust and monitor the recoding levels of QAM.

16 bit / 44.1 kHz?

Also make sure that you are recording with an appropriate sampling-quality. If you're recording in 8 bit, this for sure is the problem.
