Re: [IRCA] STATION IDs - TAPES TO CDs

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pete

I've been archiving airchecks and DX for a while using Audacity running 
on a Vista laptop.  I'm using a Behringer UCA-202 card to convert line 
level audio to USB. 

I haven't had any problems with artifacts.  I have my sound card set to 
its highest quality setting (16 bit, 48000 Hz, DVD quality).  Audacity 
is set to the same resolution as the sound card.  You might want to 
check those settings, since low resolution settings can introduce artifacts.
