Just installed Audacity 2.0.6 and recorded a vinyl record using my new USB turntable (Zennox D6207).
It recorded the music but it also recorded me coughing and the sound of my washing machine in the background. Can’t work out what I’m doing wrong - please help!
You recorded from the internal microphone. You need to set the input to the computer to “USB Audio CODEC” in System Preferences > Sound > Input, then do the same in Audacity using the Device Toolbar
Is the “USB Audio CODEC” available as an input in System Preferences > Sound > Input?
If it is, and you select it and then play a record on the turntable do you see the blue sound meter bouncing in System Preferences?
Have you quit and restarted Audacity after selecting the USB Audio Codec in System Preferences?
Have you tried doing Transport (menu) > Rescan Audio Devices in Audacity?
