Recording Albums with Audacity
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.
