1.

Remove

the

nylon

tie

used

to

secure

the

tonearm

during

shipment

Temporarily

secure

the

tonearm

in

the

tonearm

rest

assembly

by

inserting

it

into

the

socket

at

the

front

of

the

tonearm

[See

Figure

.

It

is

good

practice

to

hold

the

headshell

assembly

by

the

left

and

right

edges

of

the

headshel

l

to

reduce

the

possibil

i

ty

of

damaging

While

holding

the

headshell

in

position

,

rotate

the

headshelllocking

ring

counter-clockwise

(to

the

left)

.

As

the

ring

turns,

it

pulls

the

headshell

into

its

seated

position

(rotate

the

ring

a

full

turn

to

the

right

to

permit

removal

of

the

headshell)

.

With

the

black

dial

toward

the

front,

use

a

screwing

motion

to

attach

the

counterweight

to

the

arm

extending

back

from

the

tonearm

pivot

[Figure

2,

page

the

counterweight

will

engage

the

spiral

and

move

forward.

Assembling

the

Turntable Platter and Rubber

Mat

1.

Carefully

place

the

turntable

platter

on

the

,

the

tonearm

balance

and

tracking

force

must

be

carefully

set

to

the

cartridge

manufacturer's

specifications

.

Failure

to

properly

set

up

the

tonearm

assembly

can

cause

damage

to

the

cartridge

stylus

and/or

records.

Note:

Once

the

stylus

protective

cover

has

been

removed

and

the

tonearm

locking

clamp

has

been

released,

take

extreme

care

not

to

damage

the

Toolbars

Audio Control Buttons

Selection tool - for selecting the range of audio you want to edit or

listen to.

Envelope tool - for changing the volume over time.

Draw tool - for modifying individual samples.

Zoom tool - for zooming in and out.

Time shift tool - for sliding tracks left or right.

Multi tool - lets you access all of these tools at once depending on the

location of the mouse and the keys you are holding down.

Skip to Start - moves the cursor to time 0. If you press Play at this

point, your project will play from the beginning.

Play - starts playing audio at the cursor position. If some audio is

selected, only the selection is played.

Loop - if you hold down the Shift key, the Play button changes to

a Loop button, which lets you keep playing the selection over and

over again.

Record - starts recording audio at the project sample rate (the

sample rate in the lower-left corner of the window). The new track

will begin at the current cursor position, so click the "Skip to Start"

button first if you want the track to begin at time 0.

Pause - temporarily stops playback or recording until you press

pause again.

Stop - stops recording or playing. You must do this before

applying effects, saving or exporting.

4

Edit Toolbar

All of the buttons on this toolbar perform actions - and with a couple of

exceptions, they're all just shortcuts of existing menu items to save you

time. Holding the mouse over a tool will show a "tooltip" in case you forget

which one is which.

Skip to End - moves the cursor to the end of the last track.

Cut

Copy

Paste

Trim away the audio outside the selection

Silence the selected audio

Undo

Redo (repeat last command).

Zoom In

Zoom Out

Fit selection in window - zooms until the selection just fits inside the

window.

Fit project in window - zooms until all of the audio just fits inside the

window.

Track Pop-Down Menu

The Track Pop-Down Menu appears when you click in a track's title. This

lets you access a few special commands that apply to individual tracks.

Name... - lets you change the name of the track.

Move Track Up - exchange places with the track above this one.

Move Track Down - exchange places with the track below this one.

Waveform - sets the display to Waveform - this is the default way of

visualizing audio.

Waveform (dB) - similar to Waveform, but on a logarithmic scale,

measured in decibels (dB).

Spectrum - display the track as a spectrogram, showing the amount of

energy in different frequency bands.

Pitch (EAC) - highlights the contour of the fundamental frequency (musical

pitch) of the audio, using the Enhanced Autocorrelation (EAC) algorithm.

Mono - makes this track a mono track, meaning it is played out of just one

speaker, or played out of the left and right speakers equally.

Left Channel - makes this track come out of only the left speaker.

Right Channel - makes this track come out of only the right speaker.

Make Stereo Track - if there is another track below this one, joins them to

make a single stereo track, with the top track representing the left speaker,

and the bottom track representing the right speaker. When tracks are

joined into a stereo pair, all edits automatically apply to both the left and

right channel.

6

Split Stereo Track - if the selected track is a stereo track (a pair of left and

right tracks joined together as a single track), this operation splits them into

two separate tracks that you can modify and edit independently.

Set Sample Format - this determines the quality of the audio data and the

amount of space it takes up. 16-bit is the quality used by audio CD's and is

the minimum quality that Audacity uses internally (8-bit audio files are

automatically converted when you open them). 24-bit is used in higher-end

audio hardware. 32-bit float is the highest quality that Audacity supports,

and it is recommended that you use 32-bit float unless you have a slow

computer or are running out of disk space.

Set Rate - sets the number of samples per second of the track. 44100 Hz

is used by audio CDs. Tracks can have different sample rates in Audacity;

they are automatically resampled to the project sample rate (in the lower-

left corner of the window).

File Menu

New - creates a new empty window

Open... - opens an audio file or an Audacity project in a new window

(unless the current window is empty). To add audio files to an existing

project window, use one of the Import commands in the Project menu.

Close - closes the current window, asking you if you want to save changes.

On Windows and Unix, closing the last window will quit Audacity, unless

you modify this behavior in the Interface Preferences.

Save Project - saves everything in the window into an Audacity-specific

format so that you can save and quickly continue your work later. An

Audacity project consists of a project file, ending in ".aup", and a project

data folder, ending in "_data". For example, if you name your project

"Composition", then Audacity will create a file called "Composition.aup"

and a folder called Composition_data. Audacity project files are not meant

to be shared with other programs - use one of the Export commands

(below) when you are finished editing a file.

Save Project As... - same as Save Project (above), but lets you save a

project as a new name.

Recent Files ... - brings up a list of files you have recently opened in

audacity to be re-opened quickly.

7

Export As WAV... - exports all of the audio in your project as a WAV file,

an industry-standard format for uncompressed audio. You can change the

standard file format used for exporting from Audacity by opening the File

Format Preferences . Note that exporting will automatically mix and

resample if you have more than one track, or varying sample rates. See

also File Formats.

Export Selection As WAV... - same as above, but only exports the current

selection.

Export as MP3... - exports all of the audio as an MP3 file. MP3 files are

compressed and therefore take up much less disk space, but they lose

some audio quality. Another compressed alternative is Ogg Vorbis (below).

You can set the quality of MP3 compression in the File Format Preferences.
