AT-LP2D-USB Turntable
A note about software
Your Audio-Technica AT-LP2D-USB turntable is supplied with Cakewalk pyro Audio Creator
and Audacity recording software for your convenience. Please note that other third-party
recording software packages are also compatible with this turntable.
Cakewalk pyro Audio Creator is provided as our recommended PC software because of
its ease of use and recording versatility. It allows you to create MP3, WAV, and WMA files,
as well as remove clicks, pops, and crackles from noisy LPs with DeClicker; and clean hiss,
hum, and other annoyances from LPs with DeNoiser.
NOTE: The MP3 encoder supplied with this version of Cakewalk pyro Audio Creator is valid
for 30 days from the point that you load the software. After that, you have the choice of
continuing your MP3 encoder subscription through Cakewalk or using a freeware version
available through various online sources. You will still have full Cakewalk recording capabilities
including the ability to save in the .WAV and .WMA file formats after the initial 30-days; this
trial period only affects the MP3 encoding portion of the software.
Audacity, provided for Mac users (also works with Windows), is free software, distributed
under the GNU General Public License (GPL). More information and open source code is on
the included Audacity CD and on the Audacity web site: http://audacity.sourceforge.net. For
tutorials, visit http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/tutorials.
