Re: Clipping/ Distortion

As you can see here (zoomed in), the audio is still clipping: fullwindow000.png This confirms that the problem has nothing to do with Audacity. It is the same record I have played and recorded with the old computer and this same very equipment (turntable, cartridge, and needle) and it sounds fine. I...

Re: Mis has static while overdubbing, but none when recordin

Re: saving files

Your project probably contains invalid metadata. Try deleting the metadata from your project and then try saving. If that does not work or if you require help in doing that, please see the text that is written in red near the top of this page and repost your question in the relevant part of the forum.

Re: Clipping/ Distortion

You could upload it to one of the free file sharing sites such as http://www.sendspace.com/ and then post a link.
Alternatively, Import the file into Audacity and then export a few seconds in WAV format (doing this will not change the audio).

In the Windows recording settings you need to set the USB device as the default recording device.
