[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1813329, member: 204485"] Way back when, at a time when i was importing my old vinyl, cassette and CD collection to my computer, [U]and note I do not say iTunes[/U] but to my computer. I played around with Garage Band and although it was entertaining it was not as helpful as Audible. As an aside the reason I say I saved my music to the computer rather than to iTunes is that over the years I have seen iTunes simply loose music. There is no explanation for this I can find, although there are plenty of articles about it. Fortunately all my collection is in a Folder rather than the iTunes Library. But this is a completely different topic. I took me quite some time to learn how to use Audible properly, a lot of trial and error but I did come to one conclusion. Its much easier to get a good result if the recorded source is as good as possible. In other words it's much better to tweak the frequency levels and gain at the import (recording) stage than it is to doctor them up after the fact. I'm reminded of the old adage, "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear". So going back to my original post, the easiest way to fix the OP's issue would be to re record the source at the desired levels at the start. [/QUOTE]
