Laptop PC, Windows Vista, on-board sound card?

Also, the deck has an upper limit of 8khz Are you sure that's right? If it is, that will sound very muffled. The best cassette decks are capable of excellent sound, providing the tape and the recording are excellent quality, but such cassette decks are expensive and difficult to find these days. If...

Using a dynamic compressor to repair a problem in the original recording is a matter of compromise. A 5:1 compression ratio is fairly severe - it means that each "unit" of loudness above the threshold is being suppressed by 80% so that it only rises to 1/5th of a "unit" in loudne...

We're using a passive direct box that's supposed to have a hi-Z input, but it doesn't say how high. My guess is "not very". I'd be interested to hear what it is. If I remember correctly my (cheap) graphic pedal is about 750k. For a while, she was using an instrument amp with a hi-Z input ...
