SO if I get this correct, when I finally get my MONO Jimi Hendrix Lp, I should just record via my ion Turntable in Audacity, and then because it has two channels recorded, simply just pick one and delete the other? How do you destroy one "ear" of a stereo piece? And wouldn't that leave me...

In 1.3.6 the effects are structured into sub-lists - hover over an item in a list to see the sub-list.

This is normally a sympton of a poor USB connection.

I started out using Audacity's tools - mainly hand-drawing the repair in 1.2 and latterly the manual Repair tool in 1.3. But last year I started using ClickRepair - it costs a little but is well worth it IMHO. It does offer a 21-day free trial to assess the product, so with only two recordings to fi...

And BTW with a USB TT connected you will be using the ADC/soundcard in the USB TT for input (though you will need the Realtek in your PC for output).

Glad we got you working ok.

BTW, it's worth bookmarking that link I posted as it's where you'll be able to get future updates to download.

In which case .... When you plug in a USB device like this your computer hands over control of all sound services to the USB device - both input and output. Since you USB TT doesn't have a set of speakers, you then don't get any sound from the computer (not even the normal Windows sounds). All you n...
