Hello! I have tried to record a mix using my turntables, mixer & audacity using this method but with mixer. The sounds quality i get is terrible, very distorted! I have tried changing many different but cant find how to get rid of the distortion. Can anyone help with this? Thanks

@PhatBoySky Something, somewhere along the line, has its gain up too high.

[fastfourier666]

Don't you have to apply the RIAA de-emphasis EQ curve?

[DigiWizUK]

@fastfourier666 That's a good question. I didn't, but this turntable had a small preamp which I imagine would take care of that

yes have the headphone and the mic socket, have tried mini jack to mini jack in both, but audacity does not recognise where the sound is coming from, on your vid at approx 2.57 minutes that particular action I cannot do, if I try to scroll down it won't let me, it just stays blank, it is a brand new laptop so cannot figure what is up, have right clicked speaker in the right bottom it brings up vol preferences but does not recognise a mic, any help please.

@steven3433 This video is a couple of years old now, I have posted an updated version using Vista, if that's any help?

@mariosonic233 DICK THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO IT

[JoeyDrunko]

I use Izotope RX to rermove background noise and clicks. Works great.

you did not say what program you used to convert to cd, or how you burned to cd. get your title right !

[rcmoot]

what about the lame dll?

[vcval]

thankyou for the video , im unsure about the bells and whistles every body is going on about your way works and that is all that matters , at the end of the day it is probably only as good as the equipment that you use i am just happy to be able to have a copy on the computer

[judenihal]

For the best quality, you should use a dedicated sound card to record.
