Recording from phono windows 7
Is it possible to record from a phono using Audacity and Windows 7 and have it automatically make a track for each songs as it Plays & records
Re: Recording from phono windows 7
If you record one side of an LP, you would normally end up with one recording containing all 5 or 6 songs on that side of the LP.
You can split them into separate songs easily after the recording is finished.
I think you can mark the gaps between songs as the recording is made if you are listening.
Audacity has a "silence finder" function that is designed to locate the silence between songs, but it can be fooled by silence WITHIN a song.
I'm not sure what other people do, but I've found it easiest to just make a single recording of the entire LP (or cassette) side, save it to the PC hard drive, and then split it up later. The splitting wouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.
You can locate the gaps between songs easily be zooming out so you can see the waveforms of several songs at the same time.
