![]() ![]() I cut my initial capture into pieces containing music or what should be silence. I used to quickly fade to silence and then quickly fade back up, but I've semi-recently used CllickRepair instead. There was some discussion above about what to do with between-track spaces. When it goes bad, it will attempt to obliterate something that it should not. Most of the time it works just fine, but there are certain things-in my experience, usually surprising and upredictable-that trip it up. I also wholeheartedly endorse ClickRepair, though I strongly suggest listening closely while it's doing its work. While I find it less trouble, I can see where others would find it more. Using an external recorder will not prevent you from having to learn how to use Audacity or Audition or any other computer tools, it's just an alternative method of obtaining the original capture. I mention that only as an option and not to even HINT that there's anything wrong with going computer all the way. Because it's so small, it also allows me to carry it to wherever the playback hardware happens to be at the time. That allows me to capture at 24/96, which is allegedly better for downstream manipulation (ClickRepair, volume adjustments, etc.). Nowadays I use one of those little handheld digital recorders (mine is a Roland R-05, but there are a bunch of others out there that are probably fine). Of course, that limited my captures to 16bit/44.1kHz. At the time, it made sense to go with a standalone CD recorder for the initial capture and then using the computer to finalize everything. When I first tried to do stuff like this circa 1998, my computer just wasn't up to the task and I kept having trouble with everything seeming to go well only to find some bits and pieces were missing when I went to play it back. ![]()
