Record level - using SONY ACID
I've got a cassette player wired into my LINE IN jack on the back of the PC.
I want to change the RECORD LEVEL when I record the audio - as it appears to be too low in the LEVEL METER. When I increase the regular WINDOWS AUDIO LINE-IN control it gets louder in the speakers that are hooked up to the PC but it does not change the LEVEL METER levels. Does this make sense? What am I doing wrong? |

The Windows Volume Control has separate panels for record and playback. If you're not accessing the whole thing, use the start menu to find it, usually in accessoires/entertainment. Click Options then Properties and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks - that was exactly my problem.
I can even adjust for the fact that the left track is so low compare to the right track and get a nice raw wav file without having up the volume later. Thanks again. |

Is it better though?
If I've got a bad cassette - fixing on record brings in some hiss... Should I try to balance the channels and increase the volumn in ACID? Or is that just increasing missing volumn anyway? I'm confused... |

Frank, I don't know anything about ACID, but hiss is always a potential problem when you raise volume, no matter how you do it. This is true with microphones, and even more true with tape, because it's a hissy medium.
I assume that ACID has some noise reduction functions that will address hiss after you get the levels to where you want them. Hopefully a knowledgeable user wiill kick in. Good luck.
