Audacity Forum

I started a record and started Audacity. I noticed noise on the lead-in groove, similar to an old record that may have dust damage. I hit "pause" and then unpaused it. No change. I then hit "stop" and quickly then "record" again. The noise was gone. I read the other posts in this thread. I am by no ...

I will do that. Thank you.

(It did it again, before I read your message)

In the past few days I've digitized three or four 12" vinyl records, no issues. Tonight I started a record, brand new, and heard what sounded like dust or damage in the lead-in grooves. I let it go for about 10 seconds, stopped and then un-did the recording, started the record over and started a new...

This condition occurred again. It was really noticeable between tracks; it sounded like a really bad pressing. I clicked the "stop" button and then quickly clicked the "record" button again. The noise went away. I then re-recorded the album side with no issues. I don't have another A to D converter ...

Is the noise sudden bursts of full-scale (full track height) noise? The best description I can give is, it sounds like static interference. Not constant, but persistent. Almost like a loose wire somewhere. Not overwhelming but definitely noticeable. It started doing again tonight, even though I did...

You've not mentioned the word, but does "USB" come into this somewhere? Sorry. Windows 7 on a relatively new, very clean Dell Laptop. I'm using a NAD PP3i analog to Digital converter. Turntable is a Rega P3, about a year and a half old. The earlier posts describe the issue I'm experiencing. As the ...

FWIW, I un-installed 2.0.1 and re-installed 2.0.0. This problem seems to occur when I click "start monitoring". When I record without clicking "start monitoring" it has not happened so apparently it's something else and not simply because it is the latest version.. I won't go so far as to continue t...

I read the wiki article and wasn't sure about the recording devices they were talking about. I also read about a crash another user experienced. The same thing happened to me, once. It just disappeared. That's with version 2.0.1. Anyway, I was digitizing a vinyl record and I noticed about 3/4 of the...

I don't believe the exact issue is listed there but I'll look around for those settings referred to in that article.

Also, this seems to be an i intermittent problem.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm using 2.0 with Windows 7 to digitize vinyl. My habit has been to monitor the source before I hit the record button. Occasionally I'll get some static that sounds like a dusty, damaged record by the way it repeats. However, it does not repeat at the speed the record turns. If I start the vinyl di...
