The software will split tracks automatically when it detects silence in the music. For best results, make sure your
volume levels reach the orange part of the software's volume meter during the loudest parts of the song. If your
volume level is too low, EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter may have trouble detecting the difference between sound and
silence. To split the tracks manually, uncheck the box labeled "Automatically split recording into separate tracks" or
"Split recording into tracks." (This is recommended for typical popular music but may produce varied results when
used with other genres like classical music, spoken word, etc.)
When you are ready to start recording, click Record and immediately play your music (press "play," place the needle
over the record, etc.).
