Re: Best Turntable for about $100?

I wouldn't expect much from a turntable with built in speakers - the old Dansette's were fun, but hardly great quality sound.

Re: Changing pitch causes track to not line up

It's a shame that you are on Windows and not Linux - there's some really good (free) midi and score writing software available for Linux. Perhaps when you have more time ;)

Have a good look round it and see what you can find. When you think that you have found all of the available ins and outs (recording and pla...
