Re: Recording 33 1/3 LPs at 78 RPM

Re: Recording 33 1/3 LPs at 78 RPM

However I have no idea what impact this may have on the resulting audio files. Will I lose any audio information in the speed change process? I'm no expert on this - but my understanding from reading earlier threads is that you will lose high frequency signa.Personally I wouldn't (and didn't) do it...

No laughing... We like folks who are big enough and brave enough to fess up when they made a mistake.

You never know, this posting may help some other poor soul in the future who has a similar problem.

Re: Need Audio Software With Cut List

AFAIK the best you can get with Audacity is to set markers at the edit points while you are playing or recording - use CTRL+M . The "markers" are actually Audacity labels - and you can type into the label field when recording or playing (at least in 1.3 you can - can't remember if this wor...
