I have successfully recorded about 10 of my 12" lps to my computer with wavepad, so i'm not a complete novice when it comes to this. That was about a year ago though and I don't think golden records was even out then. I recently purchased a new sound card and I wanted to convert the rest of my collection so I downloaded wavepad again because I had reformatted my computer. I downloaded it and I stumbled upon golden records so I thought I'd give it a try since it was meant for recording vinyl specifically. But this low volume thing kept happening. I was just simply asking for advice on this, and while I have not tried increasing the line in volume with Golden Records, I have tried it with Wavepad and the outcome was very distorted and not clean at all. I'll give it a try with Golden records though, hopefully something will be different. And as for the pre amp, you were the one who suggested purchasing a new one, so I was just asking if you knew a quality one.

If i turn up the recording level I think it will be too loud and distorted for a good recording. When I record in wavepad, the low level acoustic guitarting comes out perfectly. I think i'll just end up buying a new pre amp. Do you have any recommendations? Also, what other program do you use for recording vinyl?

It's coming from a phono pre amp and then connected to the line in input.

I recently tried using golden records to convert my lps to mp3. This particular Lp i'm trying to convert has very low volume acoustic guitaring at the start of the first song. I don't think it's recording it correctly because during the playback it fades in and out. It's really hard to explain actually. Anyways Can this be fixed? Is anyone getting the same problem? I tried adjusting the noise floor level but that did nothing. When I record on wavepad it records it perfectly but the volume is too low(in general). Please help me! Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
