Re: USB turntable help...please....

And check that the cartridge is connected properly - all four pins should be securely connected (Do this carefully!). Also check that the hedshell is securely screwed home to the arm. I think your TT also has RCA cables - if so can you connect these to a hi-fi or boombox to check thet the TT is dele...

Re: clickrepair and its denoisier

Hi Lenny, as I have commented before Brian's De-Noiser is considerably harder to use than his ClickRepair whch is very straighforward to use.

Re: Removing unwanted noise

Dealing with this post-capture throgh software editing is NOT the way to deal with this (it's the good old GIGO rule I'm afraid: Garbage-In - Grabage-Out). With proper equipment prerly maintained and properly set up you should get a good clean signal into Audacty. So yes you need to check the cartri...

Re: Automatic backup won't

No every time you copy any file it should remain exactly the same as it was. So backing up and restoring should cause no damage to your MP3s or any files. What you are alluding to is the fact that if you import an MP3 into Audacity , edit it and then re-export it to MP3 - then you will compound the ...

Re: can not import audio files

... Exporting as AAC (.M4A) is very slow (14 minutes for a 3 minute stereo track)... Which makes me very glad that I use iTunes to create my AAC files for me. I export WAVs from Audacity, imprt the WAVs into iTunes and convert them there. Much quicker than your reported 14:3 time ratio - 10-20 seco...

Re: Recording VCR Audio

Re: Recording VCR Audio

Also, Pinnacle products normally include recording software - is there any reason why you are recording with Windows Movie Maker rather than the Pinnacle software?

Re: Automatic backup won't

Have you, by any chance, set your auto-backup to ignore certain file types ?

And personally I prefer Steve's suggested approach - manual backups. That way I know exactly what I'm backing up. :)
