hmmm, guess you need some new stuff, cause even if it has a card it´s not quality enough for what you wanna do ...

dont listen to oki, hopefully, your laptop should have a "line in", dont use the microphone input.. it WILL sound like crap. only use the mic input if you actually plan on recording vocals or any thing close by you want sampled digitally. otherwise you will need a line in and a crossover male-to-male cable of some sort to record from a microcasette or anything with a headphone jack, etc to your laptops line in. hope that helps yah

also, phiz, the best program to sample stuff on your computer would be sound forge. cool edit pro aint bad either. of course you can always use microsoft sound recorder :P but i wouldnt recommend it.

I sometimes have a similair problem.
Try going to the bottom left of the sceen and select programmes - accesories - mulitmedia - volume control
sometimes on my computer the mic is mute

if you don't have a 16 bit sound card your samples will sound like shit.

cheers oki, new gear is not an option i'm afraid, looks like my tunes will now be classed as 'lo-fi'
where there's a will there's a way!!!
