Turning down the volume in the pre-box solved the problem, even though i don't know why.
Thank you, Gale

"If the waveform is flat topped at the the top (+1) and bottom (-1), turn the recording level down. "
I'll try this.
Thank you for your reply, Gale.

Greetings, again.
I've been away of this topic but I'm back now.
My initial problem remains, the graph seems to had suffer a haircut.
What could it be the problem?

The piece was from a not so official Jimi Hendrix recording, so the recording quality isn't very good. Alternatively I've recorded a piece from another album but the problem remains. And you're right, the stereo effect is gone I think, from the memories I have from this piece of music. Yes, I'm usin...

Thank you for your reply.
My turntable is connected to a Pro-Ject Phono Box MKII, which is connected to a Pro-Ject Pre Box, which is connected to my M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 sound card.
Yes, that sound card is the one I'm using.

Hello.
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and I'm new to Audacity.
While making my first recording of a vinyl record I noticed that some part of the sound was, I suppose, subtracted.
Please see attachment/picture. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
