Please also check if you have set your recording-software properties to: Stereo/16bit/44.100Khz. when you record from tape to harddisk.
If you have live recordings, I presume you don't want to have a 2 sec. gap between tracks, I'll advise you to use the option to
record your .wav-files with "Disk-at-Once"-
option (DAO) enabled (if possible) (look at recording-options in your cd-burning software) The other option is: "Track-at-Once" (TAO) which causes the laser to stop
between two tracks which causes gaps and/or
unwanted clicks. Good luck, EternitY
