This is the best explanation of recording, using Audacity I have seen.
@stuartclark4264
This has to be the best tutorial for using Audacity with Windows 10. Thank you very much Craig. I have finally got round to digitising my record collection. Your tutorial was delivered at the perfect pace & was very descriptive. It was ideal for complete novices to learn with complete ease. Cheers, your a star. 👍

I am greatful to you for your thorough and simple to understand tutorial. My father recently passed away. During the 70's and 80's he directed a rag tag bunch of teenagers in a choral group. During that period, we recorded 3 albums at a local university studio. My father spoke during one of the songs while we hummed in the background. Thanks to your tutorial, I now have that song, and others, in digital form and am including them in a larger "movie" that will be played at his memorial service. Many of the members of the chorus will be at the memorial and I think there will not be a dry eye in the house, especially during that song; it was a favorite. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Many thanks Craig for the tutorial. Many of my vinyl records can’t be bought on Cd and this is a fantastic way of listening to my precious collection in the car on pen-drive and preserving my vinyl for much longer 👍
@Groovium
Bro. This is BY FAR the BEST tutorial on this. I was doing this the hard way. Separating each file. Opening a new instance of audacity. Pasting. Blah blah. An album took an hour to do. I just did this method. Took 10 minutes! Too bad I found this video after my 400 album collection was done the hard way. However. Going forward this is my new method. I absolutely cannot thank you enough for this man!!!!
@virenpune23
Hey Craig... Hope you are doing great! Nice of you to make all these videos to educate enthusiasts in your own nice special way... Keep it on and coming! Many best wishes & regards

I have just finished making my first digital copy of a song. It was from a cassette, using a small boombox. I basically stopped your video as needed and did on my computer what you said and then continued. Took forever, but it worked very well. The song sounds better than my cassette copy. THANK YOU AGAIN!
@pete3575
Thanks again, I got an audio interface and tested it today. With your instructions it worked wonderfully. The sound is impressive. I hope I still have enough lifetime to digitize all my LP 🙂
@bj3692
You are an EXCELLENT teacher! so calm and articulate. Perfect! Thanks for making these videos!
@kevinlawton9074
A smashing video to help beginners get started, Craig, but I do feel that you left a rather important point out. The sound quality of the results you get is dependent upon the quality of turntable/arm/cartridge/pre-amp that you use for recording the record with. I have met a few people who seem to think that the quality of the vinyl playing equipment doesn't matter much because vinyl is not very good quality anyway ! Of course, we know that vinyl is capable of excellent quality when played properly on the best equipment but some people insist that they know different before they have listened. Perhaps it would also be worth mentioning that once the recording has been made that is as good as it can get, that you can not 'add quality' and improve the sound of an indifferent recording which has been clumsily been made with cheap equipment.

Hi Craig, What a great video. I was searching for how to record songs from vinyls to computer, then I found your video. Your step by step instructions, espacially about the Audacity was really helpful. Many thanks dear brother.
@harackmw
I've heard flac files made from a first playthrough of a vinyl and it can be pristine and amazing
@nagarajbangalore9641
You are the best teacher , i tried many times but i couldn't understand but today i got it .Thank you sir .
@CDavid1951
I have a usb turntable and after I downloaded windows 10 I was unable to play and record records that I then sell on Discogs. I have read and tried for 8 months to get this problem resolved with no results. Until now, after watching this video I was able to stop using the usb plug and use the white and red cables that are connected to my turntable, and add the double plug female with the 3.5 male pin that fits into the back of the computer next to the sound plug. It now works Thanks for your helpful information.
@LouisA-q3r
Great explanation. I had some old cassette tapes of my band rehearsals and converted them to .wav and mp3 files. I posted them to youtube about 9 years ago. 😊 I would suggest using 32 bit float, it will increase the dynamic range and prevent clipping.
@platterjockey
I'm more advanced at this process than the audience that this is targeted to, but thank you for posting this. I recently did a search for like-videos to see what was out there and the few I found left a lot to be desired and weren't serious at all. Good job!
@zaphodsbluecar9518
Thank for this Craig, I finally decided to buy a turntable to listen to all my old '80s vinyl - I think I'll be following your lead - I've just downloaded Audacity onto my iMac... :-)
@gregtapevideo1464
I have been using Audacity for years to edit my records. You just taught me some things I didn't know!! Thank you!
@potito1000
Craig. Thanks for your rather comprehensive tutorial on archiving records (of course also all the others...:)). Just started with a Russian version of 1965 Rolling Stones record called Lady Jane, followed by John Cougar`s Americal Fool from 1982.... working with those seetings you recommend. Just amazing results! Thanks for sharing your ideas! Hello from Nürnberg Germany
