GET STARTED: RECORDING
STEP 1
1.
Connect your iOS device to your sound source.
2. Open the app.
3. When the Home screen appears, tap RECORD to start the recording process.
4. Tap NEXT.
Note: Whenever you see the BACK button at the top of the screen, you can tap it to return to
the previous step.
STEP 2
Tap the appropriate button for the kind of device you are using: TURNTABLE or TAPE
PLAYER.
• Turntables: Make sure the signal from your turntable is line-level, not phono-level.
• Tape players: Tap NORMAL or CHROME to select the kind of tape you are using.
(Normal tapes are the most common, including store-bought tapes and home recording
tapes.)
For other line-level devices (CD players, MP3 players, etc.), tap TURNTABLE.
STEP 3
Check your levels before you begin recording.
To do this, locate the loudest part of the music you
would like to record, and play it (usually, this is
somewhere in the middle of a song or later). As your
music is playing, watch the volume level meter on the
right side of the screen.
Adjust your levels properly:
• The loudest part of the song should barely reach the red part of the meter.
• If the meter "peaks" frequently in the red area, reduce your volume.
• If the meter never reaches the yellow area, increase your volume.
Adjust the volume of your recording:
• If your sound source is a device with its own gain knob or volume knob, adjust it so it is
about 50-80% of the way to its highest setting—or higher, if needed.
• Adjust the volume slider in the app (next to the volume level meter).
IMPORTANT: Always make sure you connect your iOS device to your sound source
before opening the EZ Vinyl & Tape Converter app!
To ensure the best possible sound
quality, we recommend using ION's
VINYL ALIVE cleaning kit to clean
your records before recording. Visit
