Setting Up a USB Turntable on a Computer
-
Hooking It Up
-
To begin setting up a USB turntable, plug the turntable's power cord into an outlet. Connect the turntable to an available USB port on your computer.
Download Drivers
-
Insert the CD included with the USB turntable, if supplied, and install the drivers on the CD. If there wasn't a CD included with your turntable, go to the manufacturer's website and download and install the drivers manually.
-
Install Software
-
Install the software on the CD (if applicable) or download audio editing software from the Internet. Audacity (see Resources) is a free, cross-platform audio editor that enables you to edit the tracks you import from your turntable.
Sound Check
-
Put a record on the turntable and start it. Ensure that the sound is coming through your computer's speakers.
