After digitizing all of the old vinyl collection the thought occurred to me that there might be benefits in running the turntable at 33 1/3 for 45 rpm vinyl and adjusting the speed later with Audacity. (currently running 2.0.2 on Windows XP)
I have read the tutorial article on recording 78 rpm records at slower speeds, and the manual entry http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/higher_speed_transfers.html but there seems to be no discussion on the advantages of ‘lower speed transfers’
I suppose my question relates to the fact that now that I have one of these recordings in hand I’m not sure where to begin. I believe ‘Noise Reduction’ should be first, then ‘DC bias removal’, but I am not sure when in the process I should fix the speed. Should I take the RIAA equalization into account? Any thoughts out there?
