And then use a CD burner to burn the set of WABs to a CD - each WAV will be a separ...

Re: Terrible sound when trying to record from LP

Yes digital recording is a little harder than the old analog ways - but once you get over the initial learning curve and get your processes sorted out it does become straightforward.
