Would you recommend boosting the audio signal through another device before feeding it into the Audiomedia card? If so, how would you do it? Thanks.

No, no. Keep it simple. The noise floor on that cassette and cassette deck is so high that there is no point in introdusing another factor in the process. Just record it and get the level up later with normalizing as I described. Be careful that you optimize settings as best you can on the deck, tape type, Dolby NR and such.
Added: Maybe a good idea to clead the heads with q-tips and alcohol.
