I'm happy you're getting good results. My cheap soundcard, when I conected my Onkyo TA-2600 cassette deck to it, was so noisy that I gave up. I bought a stand alone CD-recorder (now using a Marantz CDR-632) and have never looked back. Everything is done in real time, and track numbers must be manually inserted, but it's a labor of love. IIRC, the Alessis CDR uses a hard drive to allow some post-recording editing (e.g., track divisions) prior to burning a CDR.
Cassette Tapes to CDS
I have a huge cassette tape collection of live recordings that I want to get on to cds before they fall apart. I googled the free downloads that are avalaible on the internet. Are they safe downloads? Can anyone tell me how the process works? Is it easy etc...??? Thanks in advance.
