Hooking up a record player

1. To transfer music from a record player, a special preamplifi-
cation process must take place in order to boost the low signal
level coming from the player. To do this, simply move the LINE/
PHONO switch on the UFO202 to the right (PHONO selected).
2. Connect a stereo RCA cable from the record player outputs to
the RCA inputs on the UFO202. The player will also likely have

Recording Process

After hookups have been made and software installed, you
•
are ready to record the audio. Make sure your audio recording
program is set to record input from the USB port. For simple
record, cut, and export of stereo audio, you may prefer to use
Audacity. For more extensive editing, energyXT2 Compact
may be the best choice
If recording from a tape player, make sure the player's volume
•
is turned up all the way.
Adjust the input sensitivity of the recording program to
•
achieve optimal sound quality. Too much signal will cause the
recording to distort; too little signal will sound faint and thin,
so record a test clip to ensure quality sound. The recording
program should have meters that display the levels as the
audio streams.
