Do any of you have recommendations for an inexpensive USB sound card to use with laptops that do not have Line In jacks? I am looking for a way for someone to be able to record from a cassette deck bu

Jerry, I am sorry, but I missed the beginning of this thread. Which microphone system is being used, and how large is it? Thank you. Best regards, Steve Jacobson

Georgina, Just to be clear, I don't intend on moving their wires. The routing of my DSL line was something they do if requested rather than making it available to all phone jacks. They also put in a h

I am already all filtered up in terms of DSL. For one thing, to try to avoid this very problem, my DSL line is separated from my phone lines at the box outside the house, and the DSL line runs to my m

Those are good suggestions and I am going to do just that. I am a little suspicious of my DSL modem because there are no chokes on the cord to the AC adapter. It is strange. If I put an AM radio near

Tom, Agreed completely. I had a sudden increase perhaps a month ago in the interference I am getting on the AM band from my DSL service. The phone company must have changed something either with the p

Georgina, If I take my cordless phone and put it near an AM radio, I find that it generates a good bit of digital noise across the entire AM band, but there are oscillations that occur here and there

Since the radio station is 780 KHZ, it is likely that the interference is not caused by the frequency used by the phone, but that it is getting interference from the digital circuits in the phone. Usu

Dave, To my ears, this sounds like a monaural sound so it likely is the same on both channels, so using one channel or the other probably won't make much difference. Second, this noise seems to me to

Robin, Thanks, it is very possible that the microphone and line inputs for the Bose speakers are just alternatives to a USB input and that the speakers are only an output device. One probably couldn't

Robin, It sounds like you are on the way to a solution, but it is not impossible that the input jacks on your Bose speakers might work. However, you will need to explore your sound settings when somet

While what you say makes sense, I'm not sure that is really what is being asked but I could be wrong. We know that a 128KBPS MP3 is said to be approximately CD quality, so 160KBPS would presumably be

Dane, I struggled through this with Sound Forge Pro and your instructions would have been very useful. Thank you for providing them. My experience is with Sound Forge Pro so there could be differences

Dane, How was this received? The audio quality sounds fairly wide-band. My knowledge of geography tells me this is a pretty long path even if in the same region. I suppose it is somewhat similar to re

Thank you to all who have responded. Perhaps I should have given more context to my questions. In my mind, the best situation to record a meeting is when one can access the sound system directly as so

Does anybody have experience with using a uni-directional microphone to record a presenter at a meeting from the audience? I know there are directional microphones that work well to allow a speaker to

Dane, Yes, I am aware of AM HD here, of course, and I do own a Sangean AM/FM HD Tuner. However, it feels as though AM HD is gradually failing, although it is hard to know what will happen. The sound i

Dane, My old Carver TX 11A or 11B or whatever it was could receive Stereo AM of this quality. They even had a 10KHZ notch filter to avoid hearing that tone if it was generated by an adjacent station i

Marcio, Got it, I understand now, it was apparently a different "steve". I hope my comments about the SFK's were somewhat helpful. Thank you for explaining. Best regards, Steve

Marcio, Sorry, I am not certain which feature you are referring to, and I don't know if this note was directed at me. What I know about the SFK files is that they store information about the audio fil
