CONVERTING YOUR 78RPM VINYL
To convert your 78RPM records, you will need to install and use the Audacity application. This application
can be found on the CD included in the box. Please install Audacity and follow the instructions below to
record your 78RPMs. For Audacity troubleshooting, refer to the Audacity Software Guide included on the
CD.
1. Connect your turntable to your computer’s USB port.
2. Open Audacity.
3. In Audacity, go to EDIT -> PREFERENCES and set the Recording Device to ‘USB Audio Codec’ – this
is your USB turntable (select 2 channels to record in stereo).
4. Select your computer’s soundcard as the Playback Device. Note that the device name will vary from
computer to computer but should never be set to ‘Microsoft Sound Mapper’.
5. Lastly, check ‘Software Playthrough’ so you can hear the music through your audio device while
recording.
6. You are now ready to record. Press the RECORD button in Audacity to begin recording.
7. Play your 78RPM at 33 or 45RPM.
8. Once you have recorded the desired material, press STOP in Audacity.
9. Click on EDIT menu, then click on SELECT, then click on ALL (shortcut: “CTRL-A”).
10. Click on the EFFECT menu, click on CHANGE SPEED.
11. When the CHANGE SPEED box opens, you will see Standard Vinyl RPM selections. The “from”
should be set to 33 or 45 RPM (depending on the speed you selected on your turntable), and the “to”
should be set to 78 RPM.
12. Click on PREVIEW to hear your recording converted to the correct speed of 78 RPM. Click on OK to
finalize the conversion to 78 RPM.
13. Once you are finished, you can save your file by going to FILE -> EXPORT AS WAV. This will save
the recording as a .WAV audio file.
14. Pick a destination on your computer, a name for your recording, and click SAVE.
15. The recording can now be found in the location where you saved it in the previous step.
