I wish to convert cassette (audio) tapes, VHS tapes and pre-recorded material on DVD discs to the PC. I also have a large collection of 33rpm vinyl discs to convert as well.
In the first instance I have bought an Alesis tape machine for converting the tape cassette material but, the input sound level seems much too high resulting in distorted recordings, so clearly software is needed on the PC to control this. I have Audacity installed but, it doesn't seem to be able to to control the recording level.
So what, please, would anyone recommend in the way of audio or media software which is not exhorbitantly expensive so that I might complete these tasks? I have previous (Win XP - I amnow on Win7) software such as, Cyberlinke PowerDVD5, DVD Express V2.6 & Nero 6.6.
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice
