Take advantage of a program that's optimized for Windows 7.
"Optimized for Windows 7?" I guess that beats spruiking a muffler as having a flag on it:-p That this version has comments welcoming a "trim" function and UV meter is probably all anyone who has seen Audacity needs to know, but the COTD user comment " One thing to keep in mind, it does state that any upgrades made will overwrite the program AND disable the registration. " is also a flag for me.
I think I had issues doing this in Audacity a while back using my Lenovo laptop. Don't you need a cable from audio out to audio in to do that in Audacity?
Nope - you sometimes have to alter what your input device is, as some laptops will happily mix the mic input with the line, but I imagine any recording software would have that trouble. You also have to decide if you will "play through" as you are recording, and/or overdub.
The hassles maybe come from it's being so powerful :-). I've just finished transcribing double vinyl - tap to audacity, press R to record, stop when stylus lifts, select run-out and ^K to delete, press home and ^B for first label, ^3 to compress waveform, select next gap, ^1 to widen waveform and place next label, export multiple as wav.[choose and/or create output directory in export dialogue box].
That was about 4 minutes total work time to archive a double album into separate named tracks. I didn't bother with the silence finder, noise reduction, notch filters, normalisation, or the myriad of other tools an engineer would like to play with…
looks like malware
use audacity instead.
