Audacity Forum

Thanks Simsan. Firstly we have a MBeat USB Turntable and Cassette to Digital Recorder Model:USB-Tr08. Only two leads came with it - 1 x USB Interface which plugs into the rear of the player and the PC/laptop and one main power cord. On the back of the player according to the book which came with it ...

Hi everyone, this is my second go at using Audacity. I have recently purchased a few old vinyls and want to burn them on to CDs but haven't a clue where to start. I have downloaded Audacity and just can't fathom how to get the music from the vinyl to the computer. I am running Windows 8. So what I n...

Thanks Gale, I wish I could show you my screen when I try to record. Certainly have USB Device selected, we thought we had sorted the external noises and squealing but it still does it. Don't know how much is 'enough' to pay for anything but it proves to me that shopping on line isn't always the way...

Well I am afraid I am giving up on Audacity. Thank you for your help everyone but it really isn't for me. Firstly, Gale, there is no USB Audio CODEC in my toolbar, I have it set on USB Audio and have had from the start. Now, when I try to record (after touching nothing), I get an awful piercing nois...

Thanks Gale, this is turning into some kind of epic, isn't it? I am starting to agree with Audino's unkind comments about my computer literacy ;) I am using Windows XP, the player connects through a USB device so will have a look at that. I have tried accessing the manual through the Help tab and al...

Sorry, I am back again. I at least have some idea now about splitting tracks so will work on that my real problem is at the very start of the process. How the heck to I stop external sounds from recording? I have to sit in complete silence, hoping that the phone won't ring or the dog bark as it is p...

Microsoft Media Player. We have never had any problems with this program so decided to stick with what we knew. Will have a look at the link to see if we can decipher it. Again, thanks everyone.

Hi everyone, me again. I have succeeded in burning my first CD - yaaaah!! Only problem is that it has recorded as one track rather than the 20 individual tracks on the record. Once again, I am sure I am doing one small thing wrong, would appreciate any help please.
Thanks again.

Thanks to you, too, Gale. The problem actually was not with Media Player itself but with the original set up in Properties which instructed WAV files to open in Irfanview so, once saved, they did actually disappear. I think I am now on the right track.

Whoops Audino, getting a bit personal there, aren't you? :o I asked for help not insults. I have already admitted my mistakes by asking for help and with the required help I have found the one small step (which, I might add, isn't mentioned in any instructions) and should now be able to actually go ...
