Re: bouncy wave form due to warped vinyl

Ive got a weight in the center to help flatten it out while playing, my TT is a Citronic PD-1mk3 DirectDrive. I cant really fit any clips on the edges to hold vinyl down flat, theres no where for them to hold onto. Theres only about a 1.5mm gap between the TT chassis and edge of platter.

bouncy wave form due to warped vinyl

Is there anyway to smooth out a wave form that bounces up and down? Please see attached jpg to get an idea of what I mean. The wave form is bouncing up and down with the warps in the vinyl.

Recording vinyl lp's at 45 to speed up copying process

Ive got about 400 vinyl to copy to cd which is taking a long time. Ive noticed I can use Audacity to change the speed of a vinyl between 33 and 45.
