Volume control is very important. I've heard lots of oldtime radio shows ruined by over recording. What's worse, there's no way to fix what's called clipping.

Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 5:43 AM Subject: Re: size of audio files Thanks Gary and Jay, Here's what I have,: When I was beginning to learn, I recorded a tune from a cassette tape to a .wav file using recall pro. Converted it to .mp3 using GoldWave. The size of the .mp3 file is 4,390. Winamp shows 320kbit, 48000 hz stereo. I downloaded the same tune as .mp3 from the internet. The size of the .mp3 file is 1,880. Winamp shows 128kbit, 44100 stereo. The length of the tunes in time are very close, 8 seconds. The volume of the one I recorded is too high; somewhat distorted. Otherwise the quality is not much different. Questions: I'm now using GoldWave to record mostly. How can I control the bit rate and the hz when recording with GW? Is there a good way to adjust record level? If I either record in mono or convert to mono, will files be smaller? Thank you Gary, Jay, and anybody else, for your helps.
