Basic steps:
- Install Audacity. It is just as good as commercial products such as Screenblast Soundforge, and it's free.
- Connect, and adapt as necessary, the analog player device to the microphone or line-in jack of a computer.
- Test your computer's input levels by making a recording of about 30 seconds. Click the Red Circle on Audacity to begin recording.
- Adjust the audio volume near the microphone icon in Audacity. You can also select a different input to the right of this. The default is all-the-way-up.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 as necessary. The appropriateness of your volume level should be judged by the quality of the sample at the peak of its waveform.
- Record the entire LP, tape, 8 track, reel, etc.
- Observe the waveform in Audacity to determine where a track begins and ends. Cut, paste into a new project and save each track individually.
This method does not violate copyright laws. Consumers have the right to reproduce, but not distribute, any material. However, copied material must be transfered or destroyed if the original recording changes ownership.
