Audacity Forum

I'm having this issue, too, with Mac OS 10.15.1. In System Preferences/Sound, I can select my Ion USB turntable as the input, and I can see that there is audio when I play an LP, but Audacity 2.3.2 seems not to get that audio nor can I hear it. I can also see the turntable in About This Mac/System ...

Are you getting an error message or anything? What exactly do you see happening?

Do the recording to a single stereo track (we don't separate tracks because the ZED-24 doesn't have that capability) What I meant was "CD tracks", so that you can skip from one part of the recording to another on a CD player. That's not necessary on a short recording. For long recordings ...

Back to your original question. I don't think it matters if you use Mac, Windows or Linux. Audacity will run on all of these platforms. You can get a lot more for your money with a PC than a Mac, because there's a substantial mark up for the Apple brand name. I think that the ZED-24 is likely to wor...

I don't think that you are going to be able to get your CDs as fast with a computer based system as you did with your CD recorder. The bottleneck is that your duplicators require a "master CD" to copy from. That means that your workflow is: Do the recording Split the recording into separat...
