Acoustica Spin it Again - Manual (Page 14)

Example of a strong and desired recording level:
Clean Your Records Before Recording Them
Start with the cleanest records possible. If you can see dust on them, that will turn into clicks
and pops in the recording. That should be avoidable. You can use a soft lint-free cloth or
brush to clean them, or you can purchase a special spray.
Do not use TAP water to clean the records as this can cause corrosion. If you are going to use
water, purchase some distilled water.
Purchase a new needle if possible. If you've been using the same needle for 50 years, it might
be time to replace it.
If you record player is really warped, you may need to get a new one. After all, it's not the
record player we care about, it's the music!

Recording 78s at 45 rpm
Most record players play at 33 or 45 rpm. If you have some non standard records that play at 78 or 16.7 rpm, you
can still record them at the closest speed and then adjust the rate later.
1) Set your record to 45 rpm and place your 78 rpm record on the player.
2) Record both sides of the album.
3) On the "Preview And Edit Your Recording" page, go to the botton and look at the "Recording Speed
Adjustment" drop down control.
4) Choose "78 recorded at 45 rpm"
5) Note that the "Playback Rate" is now 173.9%
Of course, you can do the same with 16.7 speed records. And, if you have recorded some other non stardard
rate, you can calculate and manually set a new playback rate with the following equation:
Playback Rate = (Actual Speed of Audio / Recorded Speed Of Audio) * 100
