Heyya there John:
Perhaps this question was answered over the weekend & I just haven't gotten
that far as of yet on a Monday. Yes, talking about going in to your control
pannel under sounds & audio devices, I'm guessing that this is the way that
it is listed in windows 7. Since I don't use 7s & have had very little
expeirience using it. I'm not sure that this is exactly how it is listed.
But, somewhere in there there should be a recording device which you'll have
to choose, then set the levels in there. Again, I keep mine down around 40%
& adjust my gain upwards after I've recorded my track. You' probably need to
play with these settings to get yours exactly where you need them depending
on what type of mic you're using, the invirnment in which you're recording,
etc.

Hi,
Just learning all this stuff so please be patient with me.
This may be a rather elementary question, but how do I get into what
control panel? Are you talking about the Windows 7 Control panel for
example?
Thanks,
John

You can set your recording levels in your control panel then use gain
after you record. I prefer this method over using amplification as I have
more control over it and can make small changes as I need to make them
without the possibility of effecting my recording. I set my mic levels
lower than probably most folks do so that I can increase them through
gain. This helps me aleviate the background noise which is produced by
the room that I record in. Even though I do use & recommend a dynamic
mic, you're still going to get some background noise especially if you've
your mic settings cranked up.

Hi all.
Some tape recorders had a visible thing that went in to the red when
your recording level was too loud and it would create distortion. I
understand that Audacity has the same, though this is unusable for people
with screen readers. Is there any way we can get round this? Can you
set Audacity to always record consistently regarding the sound and noise
level?
We can hear the difference base, treble, pitch, speed etc. makes to a
recording However we can't hear what Normalise or leveler might do. It
seems these are more visual things for some kind of effect? I appreciate
there is more to it, but could anyone please simplify?
I just want to make recordings that have a set standard sound quality
and the same level of volume.
Using Windows xp with Jaws 13.
Interested to hear what you think.
Ron
