Audacity Forum

New user here and I have a question concerning recording LP’s w/ my Numark turntable and the Audacity 1.4 software that came w/ it. First I would like to say that I have installed the software and triple checked it against the user’s manual. My problem is that when I record an LP it seems to record the lead guitar/melody track at only a fraction of the volume. It does seem to be recording in stereo it’s just that the track is barely noticeable when listening to it. I only have this problem while recording; if I am listening to my LP’s through my stereo I can hear everything perfectly. How can I get this situation rectified? I am needing to get some stuff recorded for a Christmas present so I would appreciate any help and information anyone can give me. Thanks!

Also, if this needs to be posted somewhere else, please let me know. Thanks again!!

Start off reading these articles from the Wiki - if those don't help then do post back.

UPDATE: Also I assume that you probably mean Audacity 1.2.4 - if so then you at the least upload 1.2.6 from here: http://audacityteam.org/ (and later when you get more experience you can try the Beta 1.3.x)

Thanks WC, I'll start reading those right away.
