Your Technics amp is proof of reincarnation :D Well it is Easter ....... I expect that the Behringer Microphono PP40 will perform very well - I use a lot of Behringer kit, and the electronics are fantastic, though you can often see where corners have been cut in the build quality. Yes I know what y...

Koz,

you should have this feature available in 1,2 (my copy of 1.2.4 has it).

Go to Edit > Preferences > File Formats and the topmost box should have two radio buttons which enable you to toggle your preferences between these two modes.

Steve, the PP2 looks a nice piece of kit with good spec. and not too bad a price - and NAD is a good brand - so well worth considering. The other (cheaper) bit of kit that I have seen from Dolphin Music in Liverpool is the Behringer Microphono PP40 - which also looks as if it's up to the job - proba...

Johnny, What you are learning is that MIC placement is a great art - and has a big impact on the recorded sound. MICing that is too close to the source drives me crazy sometimes on commercial recordings. Example: I have an otherwise excellent recording of the Mozart clarinet quintet which when I lis...

Audacity OOTB default is set to record in mono. To change to stereo, go to Edit > Preferences > Audio I/O and from the Channels drop-down box select 2(Stereo).

All you need to do is to use the Audacity function Split Stereo Track - this is available from the little downward-pointing black triangle in the track control box. This will give you two separate tracks which you can manipulate individually. If you need to to (and from what you describe, I suspect ...

My turntable only runs 45s & 33s so I got to wondering if Audacity could "adjust" for 78s ripped @ 45 (it does a pretty good job of it). I'd been using RipVinyl but it just doesn't have the capabilities of Audacity. Main reason I was using RV is its ability to separate tracks during r...

Inexpensive phono pre-amps can produce surprisingly good results, and if using a budget turntable and cartridge it is probably not worth spending a lot more. High quality cheap IC's are available specifically for phono pre-amps, and make circuit design of reasonable quality quite a trivial matter. ...

I just did this and hit the record button while the record was playing and the sound then came through :o im picking up abit of backround noise, like a constant deep bass sound, how can i fix this? Well we appear to have moved you a good step forward which is good (BTW be aware that you can monitor...
