Prepare yourself, for this will be long:
'm trying to restore some recordings of my dead great-grandfather that are on about 25 cardboard & tin/wax records from the '20's/'30's.
Now I can't bring the turntable to the computer, so I transferred the recordings to a CD-quality blank cassette. I don't have one of those headphone-jack-to-headphone-jack-thing cables, but I do have a headphone-jack-to-RCA cables, but It turns out that the only tape deck I have that has an RCA output is an old late-'70's/early-'80's stereo (the signal goes through a built-in amp).
I hooked it up to the line-in port on my computer, made sure the line-in volume was all the way up, made sure GoldWave was set to record whatever the Line-In port recieves. I could hear the audio through my PC's speakers flawlessly, but once I listened to what GoldWave recorded, all I could hear was a white-noise/hiss. The audio kinda there, but it was almost unexistant; was so quiet that it was over powered by the quiet hiss!
Does anyone here know what my problem is? Could this have something to do with the signal going through an amp? (the volume on the stereo was about at 25-30%)
