What program to use for recording tape into computer

Hi,

I have a micro-tape voice recorder for lectures and such.. What program do i use to store them into my computer and then maybe make it sound clearer. I dont know how to do this...

I know i have to connect the recorder/any source of sound into line-in on the sound card. Then use a program to start recording? I also wish there is a program that i can then remove all the hissing sound to make it clearer.

Please help, as this is urgent for me.

Thanks

Windows XP hase a built in program called sound recorder. Its crap but its free and I think it lets you adjust sound quality. Oh yeah and nice double post by the way.

I'm not sure if Sound Recorder will let you use it.

I did a quick search on Download.com for any freeware that you might be able to use...

I used a program called Rec-All PRO (http://www.sagebrush.com/). VOX is automatic voice-activated recording -- set it too high and quiet bits won't be recorded.

Another thing: On my nForce audio, I had to set the line-in volumes to zero (gain) for the file to sound good.

Do you have Nero? Yes the burning software. If so, you can use Nero Wave Editor to record your stuff onto your HDD.
