If it is distorted sounding go back to "Getting The Right Level".įirst, make sure that your sound is at time offset 0. Listen to it and make sure that it isn’t distorted. You should see a sound bar representing the sound. Get a coffee, do some dishes, etc.)Īfter the sound chimes, your recording is done.

The software defaults to CD quality (44,100 Hz, 16 bit, stereo), but for those hi-fi people out there, you can record at 24 bits and up to a 192 kHz sampling rate. Also, make sure that you have the correct sample rate set. (It will play a sound when its done to let you know its finished.) That’s why we created an ‘Auto Stop’ timer! If you are recording a 30minute LP, set the timer to 30 minutes.
Sitting there waiting for the recording to end is tedious. If the signal stays at the same spot and does not fluctuate very much, try turning down the volume on the cassette or record player and moving the input slider more to the right towards ‘Max’ You also want to avoid having a really flat signal. You may also adjust the slider up or down which controls the input level. Try turning down the volume of the cassette deck or record player if it is red. If you are seeing red it means that it is clipping or distorting. Make sure that you are seeing yellow but not red. It may also be called "Analog Mix" and if you’re not sure and have an option called "What U Hear", use that. Select the correct soundcard from the soundcard drop down and then in the source control select "Line In". Launch Mixcraft and click the Record button on the toolbar. You’ll be adjusting your soundcard’s input level and the output of the record player or cassette deck to get the best settings.
Now that you’ve got your cables set up, you need to get the right level. If your computer is far from your record player you may be able to purchase extension cables, as well. You can purchase cables online or at electronic part stores such as Radio Shack. You can use cable type B to go from the headphone jack into the "Line In" of your soundcard or you can use cable type A to go from the "Line Out" into the "Line In" of your soundcard. If you have an amplifier, you’ll need to connect the "Line Out" from the amplifier to the "Line In" of the soundcard using cable type A or if the amplifier has a Headphone jack, you can connect a cable type B from the headphone jack to the soundcard’s "Line In"Ĭassettes/Tape players will have either a Headphone option or a "Line Out" on the back. This is important because the "Phono" level signal is very low and is different than other CD and tape signal levels. If you have a Headphone jack, this is your easiest option.Ī) For record players with built in headphone jacks, simply connect a cable type B from the headphone jack directly into soundcard’s "Line In".ī) If you have a ‘Line Out" option on the back of your record player, you can connect cable type A from your record player to the "Line In" on your sound card.Ĭ) If you have "Phono Out" on your record player, you’ll need to connect your record player to an amplifier’s "Phono In" with cable type C. Record players are special and have extremely low output levels. Getting the right input level is the tricky part. O Cable B: ¼" Stereo ‘Phone’ headphone jack to a 1/8" stereo mini cable. O Cable A: Stereo RCA to 1/8" stereo mini cable. Q Cables (May not need all depending on setup) Q Record/cassette player with headphones or RCA output.
