[wellylug] Transferring LP's to CD's

[Joe Wilson]

oki just recorded my sound (internal audio on my Chaintech Apogee 7JVL Mobo)
and i didnt get any static... here is an address to an uncompressed .wav
(about 900KB) of five seconds of nothing
http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~looseunit/sound.wav

didnt get any static...

but then again, my mobo was around $350 and it has for its time top of the
range 6ch CMedia sound =)
