Thanks in advance for any specific suggestions on this topic. So my original question remains: Why is the default audio level on VLC (100%) too loud when recording, but perfectly acceptable on playback? Hence it looks like I will have to contine using Freecorder for my recordings. Playback of any typical media file is OK at 100% audio volume. Note that this only applies to recording. To get a recording of acceptable volume using Freecorder I need to have the VLC audio level as shown by Tools-> Preferences -> Audio set to about 35%. However, if I record internet streaming using Freecorder, then the recording volume varies directly with the volume set in VLC. It seeems that the increase and decrease volume tabs on VLC only affect VLC playback, not recording. All my other recordings playback at volume about 4 or 5. Navigate to Video codec > Filters tab and then, check an appropriate codec for the effect. Browse and locate your file, select it and click Open. Anything rceorded is at much too high a volume, so that on playback the sound is distorted and I need to set my volume control no higher than level 1 of 20 levels. CTRL + R In the Open Media popup, click on Add. If I record using VLC, it makes no difference what I do to the "increase volume" or "decrease volume" functions under the Audio tab. I have now experimented with recording using VLC and, to quote a phrase "the plot thickens" with respect to my original question.
