8. OPERATION WITH A COMPUTER
The turntable is supplied with the audio software Audacity. Audacity is an easy-to-use audio editor and
recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems. The program was licensed
under the GNU General Public License (GPL) and is thus free for everybody. However, you can also use the
turntable with any other recording software. More information about Audacity as well as the open source
code can be found on the supplied CD-ROM or on the internet at
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
.
The following two sections contain basic information on how to configure and operate the audio
software Audacity. A detailed English instruction can be downloaded under
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
as a PDF file.
8.1 Installation and configuration of the software
1 Install the audio software Audacity on your computer.
2 Connect the turntable with the supplied USB connection cable to your computer and switch on the
turntable.

I/O tab for audio recording from the turntable and audio playback on your computer.
