I've been using my 31 year old Vintage Technics SL 3200 Semi Auto Direct Drive Table and Shure M95 ED..Preamp...Audigy 24 bit soundcard...and Audacity and getting fantastic results. Don't buy the combo units...better to have complete control over every link in the system. Also...if you need to buy a...

Re: Recording time again

Thanks to all of you who were kind enough to reply with your ideas. I think my initial idea of doing the recording on the internal HDD and then exporting all the files to the external will be the way to go. Will try it and let you folks know in the near future who it's working out. Appreciate your k...

Re: Increasing recording time

Hi again Koz and thanks.

I have My Documents backed up on the External drive...so just save on there I presume and perhaps delete the files on the internal drive...or save to CD/DVD?

That's what I'm thinking at this point.

Have a good evening.
