have a roughly 45 min recording on a plain vanilla digital voice recorder that I would like to transfer into the computer to reclaim the recording space, but while the recording plays clearly from its source, it doesn't seem to want to dub nicely to another (better) recorder w/ computer compatibility, or to the computer directly...
all sorts of stray sounds/noise garbles the dub w/ mono, or stereo cabling. the good recorders and computer have stereo (or mono) in, the source is mono out only. the trouble seems to be that whatever line out cable is used, picks up noise somehow... even just using a line cord to amplify it ithrough powered speakers njects more noise than is heard through the little itty-bitty speaker in the source unit. it's almost as if the only way I'm destined to get a user friendly dubbed recording is to put the two recorders into the closet, and play the source through the little built in speaker while recording to the target recorder a few inches away, and hope there's no ringing phones or toilets flushing in the background.
any audio types out there w/ some ideas? thanks,
Buzz
