Recording & saving tracks



















10. When you are ready to record, click the

Red record button on the computer.

11. When you have finished the recording, click the

Yellow stop button. Click the Green play button to playback your finished recording.

You can now click

File and choose Export As AIFF (Macintosh) or Wave (Windows) to save the recording. This will save the entire recording

as one audio file.



















12. If you want to record the entire side of an LP, or a continuous selection of songs, repeat steps 1-3 above. When you are finished, you will be

able to see each song as a waveform, with silence in-betwen each song. If you stop the recording and then start again, the new recording will

appear as new audio tracks below the previous recording.

If you want to separate the recorded audio into different tracks, drag the cursor over a song segment in the waveform window to high light it, and

then from the

File menu select Export Selection As AIFF (Macintosh) or Wave (Windows). If you want to save it as an MP3 file, then choose

Export Selection As MP3. Give the file a name when prompted. Repeat for each song segment.

13. You can remove silences at the start or end of the recording by draging the cursor over the silent region and then choosing Delete or Cut from

the Edit windows.

14. For a Macintosh, after you have recorded your track, burn them to a CD using the Mac OS X finder, or with other Macintosh CD creation

programs.

For Windows, use Windows Explorer or another Windows CD creation program to burn a CD.
