<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Audacity works for me,
too. It's loaded with features found in expensive audio
recording/editing software.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">I just record the
whole side of the LP into Audacity at one time. As you look at
the total recorded waveform there are obvious gaps between the
individual tracks of the side. Select from the beginning to the
first gap, and COPY that section, then go to File/New and PASTE
the copied section into the new file, then save it with the name
of the first selection on the LP side. Then go back to the first
recording, where the first selection should still be selected,
and delete that selection. Then repeat the process for each tune
on the LP side. After creating the individual file of the final
tune on the recorded side, the original large file can be
dumped.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> If you want to use
Audacity's features to minimize scratch, ticks, etc., it's
easier to do it to the original whole-side recording before
creating the individual tune files. If any of the treatment
functions, such as scratch or hiss reduction, use numerical
adjustments, it's good to write those down so both sides of the
LP get the same treatment.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">When creating the
individual song files, I create filenames showing the tunes'
sequence on the LP; "01-FirstTuneName", "02-SecondTuneName",
etc.; which helps get them in the right order when burning to
CD.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">The described method
doesn't work for LP's where each side is a single track, like
some live concert recordings, as there won't be a gap between
tunes. For those, you have to listen from the beginning of the
Audacity recording and Pause where you want to break, to
separate out the individual tunes. If there is audience applause
following each tune, I like to split in the middle of the
applause, then use Audacity to create fade-in/fade-out at the
beginning and end of each selection.<br>
