Saving Old LP Records Using Nero Wave Editor

Hi, folks.
I've been trying to save some of my old LP's on my computer (using Nero Wave Editor) before they get too scratched up.

I'm not sure if I have everything hooked up properly: I have one end of an RCA extension cable plugged into my TAPE REC OUT connections in the back of my stereo amplifier (is this ok or should I be using the non-RCA speaker output connections?) The other end of my RCA extension cable is attached to the line input on my SoundBlaster Live Value soundcard (via a small RCA/ small mic plug adaptor).

Anyway, I'm getting stereo audio loud and clear through my computer speakers from my stereo amplifier (playing an LP) without any problems. However, the record level meters on Nero Wav Editor seem to be showing very little signs of activity (slight fluctuation below -60db). There is nothing but faint background noise on playback. The line input level is set at max and the line input has been enabled.

I have a Win XP machine.

Hope you can help me.
Thanks.
Qavion.

Make sure that you never ever use an amplified line out source to connect to your computer. If
you've unsure use the headphone jack with a stereo to RCA adapter for you line out source. You can then use a stereo to 1/8 line in jack for your sound card. On your desktop click on 'control panel', then click on 'sounds and audio devices', then click 'advanced' on the volume pop up window. Your 'play control' window should have a volume slider for the line in source. Make sure it is adjusted to the proper volume level. You stated that you had a weak line in source volume. I've used the Sound Blaster Audigy MP3 card and had to download updated drivers from Sound Blaster instead of using the windows drivers. There was also recording software included with the card which enables live steaming audio recording in WAV or MP3 formats. You might want to try to locate your software or a compatible Sound Blaster program that is designed for your sound card. You will also want to have an 'audio cleanup' device for your line in source which should be included in the software package. I've converted numerous cassettes to MP3 format and with out the 'audio cleanup' you'll experience a lot of clicks and pops in your recordings which is normal when using line in recording sources from tape or record players. Good Luck.

Thanks Jimy.
The line adjustment was the culprit. Your advice worked well. I must have adjusted some other setting by mistake(???). I now have everything up and running. This software is truly amazing. I'm very surprised at the results :-)

Thanks again.

Cheers.
