Thanks for the tip. For the few LPs that I've done I suppose I only needed to re-rip because of clipping around 10-20% of the time. I usually knew the LP well enough to find the loudest passages without playing the entire LP. Does Audacity have auto-leveling? If not, is there a package you'd recommend?
As for resting the LPs after playing, unfortunately that's water under the bridge for me. :-( -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60096 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
