Yes, me again..... :-) My long series of questions is the result of
having capabilities that I didn't have (or couldn't really take advantage
of very well) before upgrading from my old, tired computer[1] running a
home-grown BSD-like variant of Linux, to my new, much more powerful
computer[2] running FreeBSD 4.1.1, so please bear with me.... :-)
Anyways, I'm doing a lot of conversion of audio that, until now, I've
only had on cassette or record, to CD and/or MP3, and one thing I've
run into again and again is the need for a simple VU meter for setting
the record levels by something other than trial and error...which works,
but can be a royal PITA. Does anyone here know of either a mixer app,
or other app, that provides this capability?
If not, does anyone have any suggestions for a more reasonable method
than trying to vary both the line input level and the record level (via
trial and error) to get the best compromise?
Suggestions most welcome.....
Btw, my sound card is the Soundblaster PCI 128.
Thanks as always,

you even so much as look at it funny.
