Just like with tapes, some software programs seem to slow down the recordings.
And how it sounds on this thread, paying for it does'nt seem to be a factor.

I have checked out some of the brands listed on here.
Great tips.

What one considers pro quality I guess would matter to what one does with that.
But I guess flexibility in what I can do is the most important and what I would look for before putting down the $$$.

I have been taking mp3 players and recording to .wav in my computer to avoid the sound problems.
Like that dreaded fan in my PC.
Works okay for what I am doing now.
But the fan did'nt seem like a big deal to me before either next to analog recordings.

It is definately a stage for me with recordings.

Many of us are probably going to end up trying many several different brands and methods, if not already.
