Why wont it work

Post by piaffreak » Sat Feb 06, 2010 6:48 pm

I recentley bought a turntable with audacity disk, I have followed the sparse instructions and cannot get it to record onto my pc. I cannot find the "USB Audio Codec" in the dropdown box like it says in the instruction manual. Please can someone tell me what I need to copy my vinyl to my PC???????

Download the latest 1.3.11 version of Audacity from here: http://audacityteam.org/download/
Use the official Audacity manual (available in the Help menu) rather than the instructions that were included with the turntable.
There is also some useful information specifically about USB turntables here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/USB_turntables

Thanks Steve that is brilliant. Maybe I'm a dope but didn't know which version to use, Stable or Beta so I've used Beta. Hopefully it will work. I may be back for more advice lol. Thanks again, Vince
