I have included 2 different recordings of the same musical passage to demonstrate the improvement by using my "half-speed" recording technique to give an effective 22khz sample rate. If you don't have the SoundBlaster connected to your stereo, you will want to. The file "GOOD.VOC" was made at 11000 sample rate, using direct connection from stereo to SoundBlaster. It is a fairly good recording, but notice that the high-frequencies sound a bit "raspy". Pleasant to listen to, but definitely NOT hi-fi. The file "BETTER.VOC" has much clearer high frequency sound with much less harmonic and intermodulation distortion. It ain't CD, but it sounds as good as anything recorded with a Mac or Amiga. For the musically curious, the passage is the first 15 seconds or so of "These Memories" by Oh Romeo. No special reason I chose it, it was just "handy" at the time. If you have an XT, you may find that the "better" file seems to have speed fluctuations in it. It may do this using VPLAY (or play-from-disc with VOXKIT) because the computer cannot quite kp up with the high sample rate and the constant disk activity. Try it using VOXKIT...load into memory, then play from memory. Michael J Schrody
