Re: What computer hardware/software to use to get cassete to computer?

Feed RCA out from cassette deck to RCA in on the Masterlink, and press 'record' on Masterlink, 'play' on cassette deck. No messing around with picking a soundcard, no hunting for software, no installation woes, no need to sit in front of the computer screen, you can put the Masterlink into the HiFi setup and keep the noise of the computer with its fans and HDDs in a separate room.

Masterlink will EQ for you, adjust level, split tracks, apply fades, and, if you want, apply compression and/or limiting if needed.

Google 'masterlink+vinyl' to see forums where people discuss it for archiving their vinyl collections.

Clipping has never been an issue for me; I've used a variety of inputs to it; cassette, tape out from amplifier, reel-to-reel deck, tuner. As long as your cassettes aren't ridiculously overloaded to start with, you'll be fine.....
