Does your receiver have a 'tape' out? That's usually a decent
line-level output, so you shouldn't need to do any volume tweaking on
your inputs. (Assuming your turntable and cassette deck are sending
line-level out.)
What are you using for digitizing? Your motherboard's builtin, a PCI
board, or an external device? I don't have any non-noisy internal
audio devices available to me[1], so I tend to use external devices.
[1] To be expected. The inside of a computer case is noisy both
electrically and in EM.
