DIFFERENCE
Turn this on to hear the sound that is removed by the Dolby B remover.
Probably not very useful.
pc recording volume This slider should be calibrated. See
Dolby B volume calibration

This slider must correspond to the recording volume that was used when
digitizing the cassette tape. So, if the PC recording volume was set
to a higher volume, this slider must also be set higher.
If this filter is set higher, the Dolby B removing filter will kick
in harder (resulting in a duller sound). Setting it lower results in
a sharper sound.
The sound that is removed by the Dolby B remover is displayed as the dark
blue area (and the light pink are at the top) in the following image:
The filter that is offered by Tape Restore Live! is not a real software Dolby B filter, but it is a close enough approximation to get a decent sound. Because of that it is referred to as a software Dolby B remover instead of a software Dolby B filter.
