The recording will create a WAV file on your hard disk. Click on the Directory button
to select the Windows directory where you want to save the file. The recording time Available, based on the amount of free disk space on that drive, is displayed.
Enter the name of the WAV file that you are going to create. To ensure compatibility with other sound processing and CD writing programs you should give the filename a .wav extension e.g. myfile.wav
Select Line-in (just called Line with some soundcards) from the combo box below the recorder controls.
NOTE: The list of available inputs varies from one soundcard to another. Some alternative names that can be used are Stereo Mixer and What U Hear.
Tick the Auto Level checkbox and set LP Recorder’s volume level near its maximum. Play one of the loudest parts of the LP and let LP Recorder adjust the volume level downwards until it settles to a constant value.
Press the record button and start playing the LP where you want the recording to start. The status bar displays Recording, the record button changes colour to green and the time Recorded so far is continually updated and displayed.
When the LP has finished playing, press the stop button. The record button changes colour to red.
Before you save the recording to CD or convert it to MP3 files, you will need to split the WAV file into a separate WAV file for each track. The companion program from CFB Software, LP Ripper, was designed especially for this task. Check the CFB Software Website for details.
Alternatively, but less conveniently, you could use LP Recorder to just record one track at a time. Remember to change the filename for each track.
To create a CD that you can play on a standard stereo or car CD player, use your CD writer software to create an Audio Format (not Data Format) CD and then just copy the WAV files produced by LP Ripper to the CD. Each WAV file will appear as a separate track on the final CD.
Check the Help file that comes with your CD writer software for the exact details of what to do.
