Step 2: stereo recording

SOURCE: Recording in mono and not stereo

Thanks for your rapid response. Fortunately I discovered the problem and was able to resolve it. Whether it is just my computer or all computers I wouldn't know. When I switched my computer off, after recording vinyl to my pc, then switched it back on again my pc had reset the default input so I had to reconfigure it again. Since then I have not used it but wonder if I have to reconfigure the recording device everytime that I switch my computer on. I did make the USB Codec microphone my default recording device and applied the setting but the pc seemed to do its own thing.

All the best

3 things to check: First, do you have the turntable grounded to the Stereo receiver, if not, make sure you do. Second, what kind of Audio cable interconnects the two pieces of electronics? Should be a very good balanced cable like Monster ILN or Phoenix Gold, or ProFlex. That alone can cause major noise. Third, Are you using a good power/line conditioning surge? Panamax, Furman,Monster all make very good line conditioning surge units. You've got an AC humm, it can be caused by just about anything in your home from a bad light bulb to a loose common wire in any AC outlet. LP's will amplify any kind of noise that's not heard on other devices. Chances are if you tune your receiver to AM you will hear it as well. Hope this helps.

I solved the problem by using www.wiki.audacityteam.org home page under the technology heading and clicking on USB turntables. The mixer had to be changed to 2 channels. (stereo)
