Recording



The reason I had kept the old XP desktop computer for so long was that it had the turntable that Barb had given me hooked up to it with special software to record my old LPs onto the computer as mp3 files.  I was very disappointed when I couldn't use my XP computer anymore.  Then I found this great Linux software for recording my LPs.  It even has the ability to remove clicks from scratches on the LPs.  However, I found that my computer doesn't have enough power for me to listen to the LP while I am recording it.  So I have to record the LPs in silence and then later edit the files and save them on the computer.  It takes about an hour to record on side of one LP.  So you can see how upset I was when I kept hitting the 45 rpm speed by accident and recording whole sides of LPs as if the Chipmunks were singing.  I would have to delete my recording and start over again. I was wasting a great deal of time.
