Sony PS-LX300USB and Windows 7Audacity software and music
If you still use Sony software, keep reading. Otherwise visit the Audacity page.
This USB Turntable will work with Windows 7, but there is one highly sensitive setting, that I have, with experimentation, almost cured. I have detailed my experiences with the included software. Others have found the Audacity software better. The latest version, 1.3.14, is found here http://audacity.sourceforge.net Sony Software: there is a basic problem concerning the actual naming of the imported tracks. Even if recognised it is impossible to name more than seven. More than that, the programme will save the tracks under their position on the disc and the album title only. Also, often a list is shown of the number of tracks that the programme found,but one cannot always enter data in the displayed rows. In one case, five tracks were found, but entries were only possible for three. That the track discovery is open in a box on screen prevents editing the track points. The software that comes with the turntable, Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio 9 LE, installs easily. It is a 32-bit programme, originally for Windows XP. The LP record stage, found under Tools, is shown here: (click to enlarge) Follow the instructions, and note that one should pause and turn over the LP if one prefers a set consistent with the original ordering.In this case do not expect to be able to name more than a few of the tracks. Assuming that they are all discovered, one can save the recording, but not all of the titles. The major problem is that when arriving at track recognition, the sound level setting is very, very sensitive. See Experiences, below the Windows 7 set up. |
Necessary technical matters to make the turntable work on Windows 7: I am using an X64 version of Windows 7 Ultimate. Computer: HP XW8200, 16GB ECC RAM; several TB drive space. Here is the Windows 7 Control Panel: the Sound applet is what you're after: Here, under 'Sound', is what I see. Note that 'Speakers' are there twice. It is far better, if one has anything in the front USB connectors, to use the rear ports on your computer for the Sony USB cable. Note, too, that the important item is the USB Audio CODEC. The next image shows, under 'Recording' how to reach 'Properties' for the Microphone USB Audio CODEC Clicking on Microphone for USB Audio CODEC brings this: Ensure that under 'Listen' that the 'Listen to this device' box is ticked. Also, ensure that your computer's speakers are noted in 'Playback through this device': Now, under 'Levels' make really sure that the Microphone indicator is at the bottom end. Setting it at 2 or 3 seems to be best. It depends on the LP whether the tracks will be recognised at level of 3. Two works better, but the volume set by the software is noticeably lower, too.Otherwise,when recording at higher 'Microphone' levels there will be too much variation, the Sound Forge application will show completelyblue, which is a sign of total distortion of the recording and the tracks will not be found by the programme. Not good! Under 'Advanced', pick which channels, bits, Hz you want. I want the highest, and why not? Ensure it is 2 channel, otherwise no stereo! Questions? You could email questions@mattoid.com. I trust that I have an answer! Blabber 'n Smoke pauses abruptly after 46 seconds, which confuses the software. So, that's a bug! The tracks with numbers following the titles show up simply as numbers with the album title. Doesn't matter when one is listening to them! |
