Another note about those USB turntables. They're designed to be thrown out. You're going to get to the end of your vinyl collection and put the whole thing in the bin, right? There's no reason for the maker to manufacture a top quality turntable. I'm remembering there was one reasonable quality one ...

There is a "normal" problem with those turntables. A common connection problem. People carefully connect the USB cable and also connect the Stereo-Line-Out to the pink Mic-In of their computer . Then they select the Mic-In for the show. This last connection will likely be massively distort...

I believe my iPod will play a WAV. I think my iPod has several test tones as WAV files. The reason for AAC, MP3, etc is to get many different songs on the iPod without filling it up. WAV files can fill an iPod very quickly. On the other hand, if that's all the iPod is going to do all day long for a ...

You did something wrong like having too many pathways open. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_recording_audio_playing_on_the_computer.html I thought Video Objects (VOB) would open if you had FF...

This had to have been thought of Yes and it's more serious than you think. If you bump the pan slider on a mono track, Audacity will create a stereo track in the background and not tell you. I wish the forums were not divided by OS. That would be too much of a time waster for the elves. Remember, t...

If you're not up to adjusting the curve, switch Equalization to Graphic EQ and that will give you sliders to push around.

That's what I thought. You want the "record as played on an acoustic player" sound. The Victrola sound. You can get that with Effect > Equalization. As a first pass, open the song and apply Effect: Equalization: Telephone curve. It's low pitched sounds on the left and high pitched sounds o...

Are you using the keypad and do you have the keypad set to numbers?
