All I wanted to do was record each track, save it as I go along record the next one etc. First thing to do is a test recording to get everything working - that's the hard part, and then it should all be plain sailing. Do you have Audacity 2.2.2 installed? (you can check the version number in "...

Do i need to update my audacity? That won't fix this problem, but I would definitely recommend that you upgrade to Audacity 2.2.2. (2.0.3 is very old, and there have been a lot of improvements and bug fixes since then). You can get Audacity 2.2.2 via the Audacity website: https://www.audacityteam.o...

Ensure that you have the mic pointing in the right direction. It looks like a "side addressed" mic, but it is actually "front addressed" (talk into the end, not the side). I've never used a PR30 for vocals, only for drums (I really like how they handle a snare drum). With them ha...

After the first week of this, you may decide the repurchased music may be worth the trouble. I split the difference. I only transferred the records I really, really wanted and gave the others away. On the other hand, our friend "waxcylinder" converted his entire record collection (thousan...

We welcome contributions from software developers to improve Audacity.

In my experience, laptop speakers are pretty robust, and the built-in amplifiers do not produce sufficient power to damage the speakers. Disclaimer: There may be some laptop somewhere where this is not the case. Playing clipped audio through a hi-fi or other equipment "could" cause speaker...

I think your post is a little unfair. This is the support channel for Audacity software, and you only posted 10 minutes ago, so not really fair to say "NO support". We don't make or sell record players, cassette players, CD / DVD drives, CD / DVD burning software, or audio interfaces, so i...

And if you are then really serious about getting the very best quality out of the vinyl, you should then let the LP cool down before re-playing it to record it. The act of dragging the stylus through the vinyl grooves heats up the vinyl and distorts it slightly - hence the need for the cool-down. B...

The first thing is; whenever possible, make your edits start and end where the audio is silent. If that is not possible, then for music, try to start and end at "zero crossing points" immediately before strong beats in the music. The onset of the beat will mask any click that may occur. So...
