if you do that you need to change audio input from microphone to line in, in the audio mixer thing, which should be in your system tray.

do this by clicking, options>properties clicking recording, press apply.
all the "ins" will now apear in the volume control instead of the outs, and you can select which one to record from clicking the box you want.

you can probaly select the in device in your audio suite, for each channel recording.

anyway, sorry if you already knew this.
good luck.

cheers for that, got it working using the headphone socket on my tape player - only thing is i cant hear the tape when playing! (not really a major problem as i can time what i'm recording before recording it anyway!).

Pick up one of these for your PC, better quality than a bog standard sound card, and you can directly monitor the input source. You can also take an optical digital in/out for transferring to/from digital devices (such as DAT, Mini Disc walkman etc etc!) INVESTMENT!

Use the LINE OUT/PHONES OUT on the tapeplayed and stick it into the LINE IN on your soundcard.

DO NOT use the Microphone socket on the soundcard for input as this has a preamp built in and will produce shit quality sound from the tape player.

You might mind that you only get Mono sound through the Line In though

i got it sorted now - recording from tape loud and clear!

mic in - mono with either hard or soft preamp
line in - stereo line level signal.

del - you can monitor whats being recorded, by using the monitor button on the track your recording..
