Hi Audry, thanks for this. Glad it's not just me imagining this hiss. How do I get rid of this once I've recorded. I will alter the Wave Volume. What is a good level to start trying at?

HI Donna,
I have the same type of sound card and also experience the slight hiss you were speaking about. I believe it could be a feature of that card. What you need to do is correct this with the tools in sound Fforge after recording. Re your problem with recording from the net. This should be altered in the play controls of your volume control. It is the wave setting that you need to raise as you should be recording in What You Hear setting and it is the play control volume that reflects levels as it is what it says, what you hear.
Hope this helps you figure out what is going on.
Audrey

After the excellent advice I got last week about muting my microphone in playback, I've come across two more difficulties I am hoping someone can help with.

Firstly, I am using an Audigy Sound Card, and prior to this, I had a Sound Blaster Live. I changed the sound card because I heard the Audigy's worked better with JAWS and didn't require special drivers etc.

However, when recording, I now notice a slight hiss which wasn't there before. Is this normal and is there anything I can do about it. I just get the slight hiss when recording my voice, not when recording off the internet or anything like that.

Secondly and lastly, I notice that when I record off the net, the recording levels are quite low. Lower than the radio in fact when I was recording The Archers on Radio 4. I adjusted the volume in Record what you here to 100 per cent using the up down slider, but even then the levels of what I had recorded were lower than the program itself when I played it on the net.

So, in order to increase the levels, is there a master volume somewhere I can increase, or do I just have to leave it? Or do you record first and then normalise to make it louder? I'm quite new to this but I like to get it right.
Just learning.
DonnaThanks in anticipation
