Not sure if this is a software or hardware problem, but here goes.
What I'm trying to do is to transfer music from cassette tapes to burn to a CD. So I have plugged the cassette deck into the line-in connector on the sound card. Then I am following the 'line-in recording' process in MusicMatch. It works although it is slow (limited to real-time speed here). However the sound quality of the resulting tracks is not good. As in I can hear the difference between playing the tape thru the soundcard versus playing back the recorded file. I was originally doing the analog-to-MP3 in one pass. I have tried recording to WAV instead which did not help. I would call the sound quality to be about like an AM radio, it gets muddy when the music got busy and seemed to have a static or buzzy effect. The sound card is a Turtle Beach. Model is a 'Montego' I think.
Anyone have experience on this? Is the D-to-A converter not too good. Or is the software the problem. Like to get it up to the quality of the cassette tape, which is not that great.
