The terrible hissing getting louder is probably the ALC (Auto Level Control) which adjusts the recording volume automatically. I'd suggest you turn it off. You'll have to adjust the volume manually once for each album or cassette you record but you will also make recordings more faithful to the originals. ALC will try to bring up the volume in soft passages and decrease it in loud ones and can result in a characteristic "pumping" sound. Herb's suggestions are good also because if you're burning directly from cassette to CD you're probably getting "one long song" which won't be addressable, ie. you won't be able to skip to a particular song. kenk -- "There are two things that counseling has helped me realize.
