After turning over, but before dropping the needle, I hit Pause again to restart recording, then drop the needle.Īnd the end of the LP, hit Stop (third button along). Here we are recording Melanie’s Garden in the City album (complete with scratch ’n’ sniff “smell Melanie’s Magic Garden” sleeve!):Īt the end of the first side, hit Pause (the top left button in the screenshot above). Start recording, then drop the needle, and sit back to enjoy the music. Once the levels are OK we are ready to record. The important thing is not to have it too high, as that leads to distortion. I have it at 0.52 at the moment, though it could probably safely be a bit higher. Do this by starting recording, and adjusting the Input Volume. Set the recording level so that there is no clipping. There might be some footering about to ensure that you have the correct recording input in Audacity. It would be even easier with a USB turntable, but I'm told quality suffers.
SHOULD I EXPORT AN AUDACITY FILE TO MP3 OR ITUNES SOFTWARE
NB don’t use the recording software that may come with this device – Audacity is much better! I have a Xitel gizmo (currently called the “Xitel INport Deluxe Analog to Digital Audio Recording Kit”) that converts from normal red/white HiFi leads to a USB port on the PC.
This is a note to self really, as I find that when I come to transfer an LP to computer once every few months I have forgotten how I did it before so it takes me twice as long as it should.
