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 a new session of Audacity, only the "Save As..." menu option is
available.
2. How to record
•
Setup your USB turntable to play the song or album you want to record
•
Click on the red REC button to start the recording.
•
Lower the tone arm on the turntable onto the 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: CDs cannot be burned directly from the Audacity application. Other CD burning applications should be
used.
