	Hi;

	I dont know about your snd problems. But if you are
moving vinal to cd, you may want to look into gramofile:

	Also, for noise removal, you can look at gwc:
(its somewhat flakey, but when it works, it works good)

http://gwc.sourceforge.net/

	Personally, I dont think recording is what snd does best,
lots of people like ecasound:
(the vu meters in snd give me warm fuzzies though:)

	Finally, if you cannot get anything to record at 44.1k,
you could try resampling:) Sox, can do it if you know the right
magic. How well does/can snd resample?
