recording vinyl and then recording to CD -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:recording vinyl and then recording to CD Posted by: Patrick Koltz Date:11/16/2014 5:50:26 PM I just downloaded Sound Forge version 10 (build 252) and using the popup screen tried to record a vinyl record for later transferring to a CD. The recording part seem to work and I used the option "Test then Burn" and the buffering option when trying to transfer the recording to a CD. No sound came from the CD. It was read as empty by my CD player. Before downloading soundforge, I connect via USB from my AT-LP 120 USB turntable on my computer port. I also connect RCA cables to the in-Line section of my Onkyo receiver, which has a built in CD player and an MP3 mount. My computer is a Thinkpad with enough RAM to support soundforge. My questions are many-1. Is there some specific software I'm lacking that will allow me to use your software with windows 7 64 bit. 2. Does having the RCA cables connected to my receiver have any affect on recording. 3. There was no signed of a saved recording in the soundforge menu, so I could either edit or go back to see what happened to my recording. 4. Also, on the basic window that pops up to record vinyl, there's no indication as to where to save the record (to what format). It seemed so easy based on the initial steps but I am obviously missing or lacking something in my setup.
Subject:RE: recording vinyl and then recording to CD Reply by: Geoff_Wood Date:11/16/2014 8:56:19 PM Should be very straightforward. 1 - Record from your turntable (either select either the USB or audio interface as input device) 2 - See the recorded music on the SF timeline and audition it. Add track markers if you wish. 3 - Burn to CD. Are you seeing the music at step 2 ? Also what type of SoundForge ? geoff

After capture, the waveform should be visible on the timeline and should playback w/o issued. It's also recommended to save the audio as a WAVE (.wav) file for editing and other manipulation or other final formats... MP3 and such.
Subject:RE: recording vinyl and then recording to CD Reply by: Patrick Koltz Date:11/17/2014 2:01:00 PM I want to thank both of the responders to my last posting. I did finally get the recording function to work--that is from LP to a saved file wav., and then played in through my computer. There was all kinds of noise and clicking even though the record is very clean. Is there some way I should set the recording up before hand to prevent this problem or can it only be done later in the editing function, which I know next to nothing about.

"I wasn't able to get the recorded LP to play through my speakers" > I'm confused.. how can you hear the noise and clicking? Do other audio files playback in Sound Forge? If you can't hear anything, is a waveform visible; does the timeline cursor move; do the channel meters show activity?
