Rescan Audio Devices or restart Audacity.

Project Rate

Set the Audacity Project Rate in Selection Toolbar at the bottom left of the Audacity screen to 44100 Hz:

Devices

• Use Device Toolbar to set the recording and playback devices and to set the recording channels to “2 (Stereo) Recording Channels”, as in the below example on Windows 10:
•  The Recording Device is set to the USB device (in this case the device name, but often called or including the phrase “USB Audio CODEC”).
•  Recording Channels is set to stereo.
•  The Playback Device is set to the named speakers of the built-in computer sound device.
•  These settings can also be changed in Devices Preferences.
• Windows calls most USB external devices “microphones”. Some higher-end USB recording interfaces may appear as their explicit manufacturer’s name.

Software Playthrough

Use Transport > Transport Options > Software Playthrough (on/off) and click “Software Playthrough” to turn it “on” (the checkmark is shown when it is “on”). This setting can also be enabled or disabled in Recording Preferences. Software Playthrough lets you hear the turntable through the computer speakers when recording. It also lets you hear the turntable without recording if you turn on monitoring (see the next section below).

Monitoring

Enable monitoring to set the recording level

•  Turn monitoring on by clicking once on the microphone icon in the Recording
  Meter.

•  In Mixer Toolbar, turn up the left-hand playback volume slider (by the speaker icon).

•  The right-hand recording volume slider (by the microphone icon) can often be used to vary the loudness of the recording, but it may not function with all turntables.

• If it does not, try adjusting the output level on the turntable (often, there is a gain control under the chassis).

• Alternatively, you may be able to adjust the input level on Windows and Linux only, usually by looking for the speaker icon by the system clock. On Windows, right-click over the speaker icon > “Recording Devices”. Then right-click over USB

• Audio Codec, choose “Properties” and click the Levels tab.

• Try to aim for a maximum peak of around –6 dB, which corresponds to around 0.5 on the waveform. You can always boost the level later with Effect > Amplify… or Effect > Normalize… after you have completed editing.

Recording

Then, ignoring any instructions in the manufacturer’s guide to select “stereo mix”, simply press the Record button in Transport Toolbar to start recording from the turntable.

Care

Turntable Body

• When the turntable body is dirty or dusty, first disconnect the AC adapter, and then wipe off the dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use benzenes, thinners, etc.
• When storing the product for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet and wrap the product in plastic; do not allow it to become damp; the drive belt should be removed to prevent unequal stretching.

Stylus Tip

• If dirt and grime are stuck to the stylus tip, clean it with a commercially sold brush.
• We recommend using a stylus cleaner (not included) if the stylus tip is considerably dirty. Clean the stylus tip by moving the brush from the rear to the front of the stylus tip.

Replacing the Stylus

It’s suggested to replace the stylus after 400 hours of use.

Removing the Stylus

• In addition to the deterioration of sound quality, records may also be damaged as the cartridge’s stylus tip wears down.
• Be sure to disconnect the product’s AC adapter from the outlet.
• When replacing the stylus, hold the headshell and the cartridge body tightly. Rotate the front of the stylus in a forward and down motion.

Installing a New Replacement Stylus

1.  Mount the new replacement stylus to the cartridge.
2.  Lift the stylus up until you hear a click.
3.  Make sure there is no gap between the headshell and the cartridge.

Replacing the Belt

• The belt is a consumable part. Replace the belt if the speed of playback slows down or irregular rotation occurs. As a rule of thumb, we suggest replacing the belt once a year.
• Before replacing the belt, be sure to disconnect the product’s AC adapter from the outlet.

1.  Remove the slip mat.
2.  Remove the main platter, and then remove the old belt.
3.  Loop the new belt around the sub-platter and motor pulley.
4.  Place the main platter back onto the sub-platter
5.  Using your hands, slowly rotate the platter ten times by hand in the direction of the arrow.

When the Turntable is Moved
Using the product’s original packing materials, wrap the turntable in the reverse order from when you unwrapped it. If you do not have the packaging materials, take the following measures:

• After disconnecting the AC adapter from the outlet, remove the felt mat and platter, and then wrap them so that they do not get damaged.
• Attach the protector to the cartridge.
• Use a string or something similar to tie the tonearm to the rest so that it does not move.
• Wrap the turntable body with paper or a soft cloth so that it does not get damaged
