hi. i've been using goldwave to record some vinyl. but, when i use the sound card's line in, i can hardly hear the bass in playback or when recorded. if i use the sound card's mic input, the sound is good, except it doesn't play in stereo (for example, if a guitar part is supposed to come through one speaker, it comes out really quiet). anyone know how to fix either problem without editing each sound file? does any other software bypass these problems? thanks!

This is only a guess, but it sounds as if you do not have any device that will process the RIAA equalization that is incorporated into vinyl. You probably need a phono preamp.
Hello- had the same problem with my HP Pavillion 7850 (nice computer) custom $400 Teac audio grade CDR drive and support card with dedicated pentium 2 (250 MHZ just for sound!)and Roxio software. The sound was washed out, grey, and cassette-like. I bought a philips CDR from Audio Advisor as they have a good return policy; I was sure I'd need it, but I was curious to hear the thing in my system(super-high end all-tube/analog with VPI TNT Table, SME V arm, and Grado Mahogany-body reference cartridge) I couldn't believe it! This $300 mass-market CDR WALKED my computer 10-fold. Great sound! It's not the same as the table (Thank God!) but in my car I cannot tell the difference between burned discs and "official"/record label issues-- save for a bit of surface noise. Slammin' bass, the thing is unbelievably easy to use, has a record-level control(very important) and is very dynamic. It blew my mind! Hope this helps, Chris.
you will find some interesting stuff on the subject.dee
