Bill, Recordings are always level controlled automatically by the PTR1, if you use the built-in mic. The recording level control works for the line-in and the mic socket. The recorder didn't ask you for a title. It may have said something about a title. It proberbly said, that you should press the rec button to create a daisy title. The PTR1 is a complex machine, one has to read the manual, if one wants to use it effectively. <*** Michael Lang ***> You wrote: > Dear Jamie, > This is all very new to me.
