Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony PS-LX300USB USB Stereo Turntable (Black)Customer Review: PS-LX300USB, Audacity is the solution for windows 7 32/64 bits Summary: 5 Stars
Set up Audacity to record from the turntable The turntable must be switched on and its USB cable connected to the computer before launching Audacity, because Audacity is not able to recognise a device if you plug it in while it's already running.
If you are using current Audacity Beta, the Audio I/O tab of Preferences has been replaced by the Devices tab.
Go to the Audio I/O tab of Preferences - (or if you are using the Beta version of Audacity 1.3.x, then go to the Devices tab of Preferences)
Select the USB Audio CODEC as the recording device and select your inbuilt sound device or sound card by name as the playback device. If you are on Windows, do NOT choose Microsoft SoundMapper for the playback device. On Windows 7 or Vista, you can try Microsoft SoundMapper as the recording device if the "USB Audio Codec" choice doesn't record.
Set recording channels to 2 (stereo) if you want to record in stereo, or set to 1 (mono) for mono recording.
Enable software playthrough if you want to hear the turntable through the computer speakers while it's recording. (Note that if you are using Audacity Beta 1.3.x, then you will need to make this setting from the Recording tab of Preferences.)
Go to the Mixer Toolbar and turn up the left-hand output volume slider (by the speaker symbol). The right-hand input volume slider (by the microphone symbol) 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 input level on the turntable or in the Windows system mixer (right-click over the speaker icon by the system clock).
If you are on a Mac, you should always set up the turntable by clicking on the Mac hard disk, then Applications > Utilities > Audio-MIDI Setup. Click on the Audio Devices tab, then on the left-hand side, select USB Audio CODEC in the Default Input and Properties for dropdowns. You can vary the input level here, too. If you are on OS X 10.1 or earlier, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sound, click the Input button and select USB Audio CODEC.
An alternative procedure for setting up a USB input device in Audacity 1.3.12 and later on Mac OS X is documented here.
Make sure that your Project Rate bottom left of the Audacity screen is set to 44 100 Hz.
Then simply press the red Record button in Audacity to start recording from the turntable - ignore any instructions in the manufacturer's guide to select "stereo mix",.
