Audacity Forum

Here it is. Oddly enough, this user posted a Windows program in the Mac forum. Maybe he's off his meds. Who knows? This one isn't free, but he claimed multiple vinyl albums transferred with no troubles. "...EZ Audio Converter works fine - I've done several full album sides with no distortion sh...

Given the enormous number of people having speed and quality problems with much larger computers, I don't think USB is the way to go. However, assuming your computer is a Deskside and your turntable is an ION, you can probably do a fairly respectable job transferring the songs analog. Stereo RCA to ...

<<<recorded file (saved as an aup file >>> Just a quick note about that. I know the impression is that you saved your show as an AUP file, but reality is a little different. AUP isn't a sound file. It's a programming language that tells Audacity how to produce your show from the cloud of other files...

It's not that you always run into troubles or create damage, but there is an easy way, and then there is everything else. It didn't take many Mac files called Todays Layoff From Avid 2.wav round trip to the Land of Linux to reveal that a pain in the butt that was--not going up to the Linux machines,...

<<<I plugged the RCA->1/4" cables into an m-audio fasttrack pro, >>> No, no. Before that. "I'm playing a Gretsch Nashville with Ludwig Drums and Paiste Cymbal set into a pair of SP-C4 condenser microphones...." That's an example. Fill in the holes. Keep stepping backwards in the room ...

If you open up your project (AUP) file in a text editor, the first couple of lines of computer code may give you an idea of where the project used to be.
