Recording from a Turntable
To make the audio sound normal, many turntables need a special filter setting, known as the “RIAA Curve.” Your old home stereo’s turntable input had a special equalization circuit built into it (remember when stereos had “Phono” inputs?). Final Vinyl recreates this equalization curve using digital signal processing.
1.To add this turntable filter, select “Effects” from the Action Menu. A new window will pop open, labeled “Effect View.”
2.At the bottom left of the “Effect View” window, click on the plus symbol and choose the effect you want (in this case, “EQ”).
3.Two options appear: “Typical Connection” and “Connected to Turntable.” Select “Connected to Turntable” and click Apply. (For tape decks or other line level audio devices, you would select “Typical Connection.”)
