Yeah, it's not exactly 80 minutes. This burns a surprising number of people. "I created an 80:00:000 show and it will not burn to a Music CD." That's right. It won't. Audio CDs go by minutes, not bytes. Audio CDs use a "funny" file format (CDA) designed to get the maximum amount ...

<<<get a separate pre-amp and move the turntable/pre-amp to the computer for recording?>>> That's how I do it. Phono Preamplifier Two very nice phono preamps in actual use. Honorable mention to the Hafler HD-101 preamp, no longer made. http://www.phonopreamps.com/tc750lcpp.html http://www.artproaudi...

Can you see the gaps in the blue waves? When the cursor plays over a flat space, does the sound vanish? If there are no flat spaces in the blue waves, then you have a good show capture, but a playback problem. If there are visible holes in the blue waves, then you got a bad recording. Has this ever ...

You are normal. Vocal Removal, or Audacity Center Pan Removal, rarely does what everybody wants. The goal is to download a highly compressed music file from the internet, take out the vocals and put your own voice in. Good luck with that. Internet compression messes with some of the stereo signals t...
