Recording Albums with Audacity
To get started with Audacity, follow the instructions below. For in-depth information
on recording and saving projects, please visit the on-line Audacity manual at
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/index.html and the detailed on-line
tutorials at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/tutorials.
1. Saving a project
• Audacity writes all the changed and recorded audio to a directory called
Projectname_data, which is located right where you saved the project file
itself.
•
Thus, select Save project as from your Audacity File tab and choose a
location and filename for your project.
•
Please note that when you startup Audacity fresh, only the “Save As...”
menu option is available.
2. How to record
• Set your USB turntable up to play the song or album you want to record.
•
Click on the red Record button to begin recording.
• Lower tone arm on USB turntable onto album and track you want to record.
• Click on the blue Pause button to pause the recording. Press it
again to continue.
• Click on the yellow Stop button.
That's it. You can now play around with your recording and explore the editing
capabilities of Audacity. Remember that you can use the Undo function almost
without limits while the project is open.
NOTE: CD's cannot be burned directly from the Audacity application. Other CD
burning applications should be used.
