Hi, assuming that the cassette to pc device uses a usb connection, and that you're using windows xp, then audacity probably can't control the recording level from within the program. However, you can adjust the recording level by adjusting the windows recording level of the device: 1. In the Control Panel, open the Sound and Audio Devices Properties dialog. 2. Move to the Audio page of this dialog, where there's a Sound recording default device combo box. Select the device in this combo box, and then Tab to the next control which is a Volume button, and press it. 3. A dialog opens, which contains a volume slider for the device. David.
original message: Hello All, need some help here with Audacity? Would appreciate any help you can lend. Ok, I am blind and now recording cassettes to my PC using Audacity. I bought the Grace cassette to PC device and now learning how to use it. My major problem for now is that after copying a file over and saving it as an MP3 file, it plays back very quiet barely enough to hear it. How do I set Audacity to give me the same sound on each recording? Is there a certain setting or what? I do not know what half of these words or settings even mean. Is there a simple way of increasing the sound while or before recording? I have many of my own stories recorded on tape and read by my wife and they are ok on the tape but very low on the playback in my media player. I use the JAWS speech program to get around and it does ok for my basic use. Is there a button or a menu that I can go to in order to increase the volume before recording or while recording or just before saving the file? Any help out there?
