the bottom line is you are never going to get a cassette to sound
anywhere near as good as what's coming out of your computer. if you
can get one of those double-speed 4 track decks you might be heading
in the right direction. normal cassette just doesn't have the dynamic
range or frequency response.
if your soundcard has one of those cheapie 1/8" stereo mini plugs
you'd be well off getting one with separate RCA outs.
a compressor might help in that it will squash the signal such that it
will "fit" better on the tape.
really i'd recommend getting a DAT machine. get one with a digital
connector that is compatible with your computer and you will be a
happy happy camper. it will make more a difference than anything else
you can do to your system.
