I've been slowly copying old cassette tapes onto my computer, saving first as a wave file, then editing into tracks (music) or chapters (books), and converting to .mp3 files. I've been using Nero Wave Editor for the recording and editing, and RazorLame for mp3 encoding. I've noticed on multiple files that although the tape plays in well, the wave file has stuttering and glitches (sounds like Max Headroom).
Now my questions:
I'm using the onboard sound with my motherboard. Its a SB128 chip, with the latest drivers. Would I be better off, for this purpose with a separate sound card? If so, what card would y'all recommend?
Could any other hardware in my system be contributing?
Would other (reasonably priced) software be better for what I'm doing?
Thanks
