Songs with breakdowns and gaps of silence could trick the software into thinking the track is over and advance it to the next song prematurely.

      Note: This feature may not function properly on certain types of recordings as such, live recordings, and classical music.

FAQ and Troubleshooting

EZ Vinyl does not recognize my device. What do I do?

When connecting the device to your computer, you will only need the USB connection and not the RCA connection. All of the sound is transmitted through the USB port, so the RCA connection is not required. If the EZ Vinyl software still does not recognize your device, check the following:

  1. If your device comes with a power supply, make sure the power supply is connected to a wall outlet and the turntable/cassette player is powered on.
  2. Try a different USB port. Not all USB ports are the same. In most cases, the USB connection on the back of a computer or nearest to the power input is faster and more powerful.
  3. If you are using a USB hub to connect several USB devices at once, try disconnecting this and connecting the device directly to the USB port on your computer.
  4. If available, try a different USB cable.

Optimizing Recording Quality and Playback

When the turntable sends the sound of your record or cassette to your computer, the computer still needs to process that sound before it makes it to the EZ Vinyl software. This means that there are settings in your computer that may need to be adjusted to ensure that the sound is processed properly. If not set properly some of the more common issues include No Sound, Distortion, and Mono Playback.

Follow the steps below to make sure that your computers playback and recording devices have been properly assigned, which should eliminate any issues with sound quality or playback. If using a turntable here, first check that you have removed the protective cover from the needle before proceeding with the steps below.

Accessing the Windows Sound Settings

There are two ways to get here:

  1. Find the speaker icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen, near the time and date.
  2. Right-click on the speaker and select Playback Devices. The Sound Settings window will appear (this may take a few seconds).

OR

  1. Click the Windows Start button. (if using Windows 8, see below)
  2. Select the Control Panel. Note for Windows 8, you can find the Control Panel by using the Search function or by finding it in your Apps folder.
  3. Double-click Hardware and Sound (it may only say Sound).
    or
  4. Double-click Sound and the Sound Settings window will open.

Playback Settings

  1. Under the Playback tab click on your sound card speakers to highlight it. If using the built-in speakers on your computer this will probably be called 'Realtek', 'SoundMax', 'Sigmatel', 'Sound Blaster', 'Conexant', or 'IDT'.
  2. Click Set Default at the bottom of the window.
    Important: Make sure that USB Audio Codec or USB PnP Audio Device is NOT the default playback device. This is your

Recording Settings

  1. Click on the Recording tab.
  2. Click on the Microphone Array (USB Codec, PnP)
  3. Click Set Default.
  4. Click Properties on the bottom of that window. The Microphone Properties window will open.
  5. Click on the Levels tab.
  6. Set the level as close to 5 or 25 as you can. The microphone is very sensitive and needs to be set this low to avoid distortion.
  7. Click on the Advanced tab.
  8. Set the Sample Rate to 2 Channel, 16-bit, 44100Hz or 48000Hz.
  9. Uncheck both Exclusive Mode boxes.
  10. Click Apply, then OK to exit. In some cases, a restart is required for the level to save at 5 or 25 depending on your version of Windows.
My recording stops after one minute or before the song is finished. What do I do?

If the EZ Vinyl software detects 4-6 seconds of silence, it may believe that the track has changed and automatically stop the recording and start recording a new track. If this is happening in error, go back to Step 2. Get the music ready to play do the following:

  1. Make sure that the gain is not too low. Especially with very dynamic orchestral or jazz pieces, if the quiet segments are low enough the software may register these as silence. To combat this, try to turn up the gain. Be careful not to turn it up too much or else you may start to experience distortion!
  2. If gain does not work, consider turning off the Split Recording into Tracks setting. Once this is turned off, EZ Vinyl will no longer split tracks based on silence and a button will appear on the recording page so that you can start new tracks manually.

If you are experiencing the converse of this and the EZ Vinyl is not detecting enough silence to split the tracks, you may need to turn off the Split Recording into Tracks setting and manually create new tracks as you are recording.

EZ Vinyl states that it is Unable to Export to iTunes. What do I do?

On a Windows operating system, iTunes versions 11.0.3 and higher will not allow EZ Vinyl to automatically import songs into the library.

For customers who have already updated to iTunes 11.0.3 or higher, please download the latest version of the EZ Vinyl Converter by clicking here. This version of the software will allow you to save files directly to a folder location on your computer rather than exporting directly to iTunes (as described above). There is no need to uninstall any prior versions of the software first - it will automatically update.
