ION turntable model 132638 Post a link to the turntable. I couldn't find it. will i be able to use it with audacity to adjust my recording level? I'm guessing no. Analog connections are usually fixed even if the unit has volume controls for speaker or headphones. If it does have headphone connectio...

Do you see where the Levelator blue waves have ruler-straight tops and bottoms? That's almost always distortion. Note the other two still have features on the tops and bottoms of the waves. That's not an accident. That's what makes it so you almost can't tell the program is doing anything. So contin...

They're different. Use the drop-d...

Which Audacity? Right click or control-click one of the files > Get INFO. Is it what you think it is? What's the sample rate? 48000? Create a 10 second test clip of any sound from one of those recorders (read the milk carton) and post it on the forum. Scroll down from a forum text-entry window > Upl...
