Recording from an LP
Mon, 07/13/2009 - 05:05 — iflyrjs
On average an LP has about 7 tracks per side as an example. After I start the record and hit the record button everything appears to be working fine.... Then at about the 3rd track it just stops recording... So Ill start over and it stops recording this time around the 5th track ... Tried this over and over and each time it stops at differents locations.
Did I miss something in the setup.... or do I need to pause each time a new track starts and save and record the next one.... I assumed i could record at least one side of an LP... NO???
Do not use Audacity
How good can a free download be?? I have tried Audacity with several types of recordings and I just kept having problems. Your cure for recording LP's is "Magix Audio Cleaning Lab" which sells for about $60.00 and is well worth it. Great cleaning for clicks, pops, scratches, hissing, tape noise, you name it. Most turntables do what they're supposed to do, but the key is the recording software. Give it a try!!
Not normal!
Do you mean the signal level goes to zero while the recording keeps getting longer, or do you mean the recording cursor stops moving?
The first would implicate the turntable or stylus (or maybe the sound drivers). The second would implicate the recording settings or the recording software. Audacity has a setting for "Sound-activated recording", for instance...
Audacity records in a series of small files, so if you're using Audacity, you won't reach a file-size limit (as in FAT32).
You should be easily able to record a whole side of an LP if your hardware is up to it...
