So someone leaves you a funny message and you want to put it on a mix tape? How do you get a good quality transfer? thanks

you may need to do some noise reduction to get some buzz or hum out - a lot of programs allow you to create a profile from a section with just buzz, then take that buzz from the entire file.
Great advice. Heads up, don't get the cheap one from radio shack that suction cups to the back of the phone. That only works on the old school grandma land lines.
If your rich, super lazy, or have a good corporate job check out your conference calling features. Qwest and some bigger companies will record your converstion for you and send back an MP3, cd, and transcriptions for a fee.
Be sure your balling with some one else's card for this move.
My point was don't get it twisted and by this one by mistake like I did years ago.
Listen to Urrrs advice.
*headed to radio shack
But my bro is a journalist, and does a lot of phone interviews, and he uses one that fits into his ear. He said it was a little strange at first, but he swears by it.
2) The buzz often time arises from people hooking into a phone line that's also attached to any device drawing electricty. The most ideal hook-up would be through one of those old school phones that don't use an outside power source.
i'm too lazy to do that but CDJ or Serato will work fine. once you have it in the computer or on a CD, it's just audio, and you can scratch it like any other audio. I want to shout out Paul Nice - he gets busy with his drops.
