[Ham-Computers] Analong To Digital

John, 	

I circumvented the computer and solved the entire issue. I purchased a Sony
RCDW10 CD burner, both R and W capability. I can copy CD to CD, I have analog,
digital and optical inputs and it does not require any computer or any special
software. It works great! A new product from Sony and I paid $350 for it. A one
year warranty on all parts and labor.  

I have already laid down tracks from a 1965 Pete Fountain album, "Licorice
Stick" and finalized the CD. Sounds every bit as good as the original. I am able
to fade up or down, so I can fade right into the first not of any song, you need
to know the music first, of course.		

I also recorded the vinyl to DAT and then copied to the CD burner with excellent
results. 	

As far as I am concerned, this is the best route to take John. No more software
conflicts, no more sound card issues, no mor this only works with that and when
the Moon is full on a Saturday followed by at least one inch of rain when humidy
average fore the week is between 42-44%.

Whatever you find out Duane please share with me,
as I will share with you.  have been going in circles
trying to put a 400 vinyl collection on CD, and a new
and fast burner promised to do the job...what it did 

What it did was write to BIOS so drive C was not
visible and i had to boot from emergency floppy.  The
manufacturer sent me a LONG technical diatribe, with
mainly useless specifications and parts tolerances!  So
I am back to the IOMEGA burner and I note that they
claim to have both analog and digital support for not
only output, but for input!  Creative Labs tells me that
the PCI512 card that I have samples fast enough to not
produce any audible noise at up to 20kHz input, so I
am going to try that route....problem...the PCI512 is
usually a mono input card, though it has a two channel
separate jack...so far Creative Labs has NOT been able
to find documentation on digitizing two channel sound on
that card.....the data stream to the CD burner must be one
channel they claim, and the encoding determines the separation
on playback...makes sense, but who on earht knows the
encoding and how to set it up on the Creative Labs card?  So
far, not Creative labs.

Will keep you posted.

Hope we both succeed!

John
