How do I turn Vinyl LPs
into CDs? How do I record from a cassette to my PC, and then to a CD-R to be played on a home audio
system?
Vinyl LPs or Cassette to PC
1. Run the FlexiMusic Wave Editor. Then, under the File menu, choose New.
2. Choose this format: 44100Hz, 16 bits, Stereo.
3. Connect the "Audio-Out"
of your turntable/cassette player to the "Audio-In" of the sound card (usually the Blue jack on the back of the
PC), using a stereo audio cable.
4. Click the Record button
(the red circle) on the toolbar. This will open the Record window.
5. Click the "Recording
Source" button to select the recording properties in
the dialog box. Select Line-In,
and adjust the recording volume for the highest possible performance.
6. Now start the playback
of the Turntable/Cassette Player, and click the "Start" button in the Record Audio window of FlexiMusic
Wave Editor. If necessary,
adjust the volume
setting by watching the levels of the volume go up and down on the volume level indicator.
7. You can pause the
recording process by clicking the "Pause" button any
time you want, and then resume by clicking the "Continue" button.
8. When
you want to stop recording, just click the "Stop" button. Click the "Done"
button to finish recording, and the destination sound file is there.
9. To save
your recording, click the File menu and choose Save command. Save
your recorded file to an easy-to-remember folder on your computer.

Burn to
CD
To convert to CD-R from cassette, you need to save the file as a 44100hz, 16 Bit, stereo wave file for copying onto a CD (which you have already set in Step 2, above). You should use the CD-R type CDs for recording. (Don't use the CD-RW type). Also, it is best to use the free CD writing software that came with your computer, or was bundled with your aftermarket CD writer to write to the CD. (The software supplied by the CD writer manufacturer is best.)
