Recording Vinyl 96/24 export to 41/16 CD wav workflow

[Zen5656]

Hello!

I am using Audacity for some time now for recording vinyl records professional and I try to switch over to Logic Pro X as the audacity crashes to often and creates project folders with too many small files. I am using a high quality DAC from Prism (lyra 2) and some hifi gear (no explanation needed about hardware here)

 

Workflow in Audacity was:

1. Creat a project with 96khz/24bit

2. Put needle on Record

3. press record (if leveling/gain feels right/not going into red)

4. wait forever until the track is recorded

5. press pause

6. cut beginning and end

7. save audacity project in a folder and name everything

8. export as .wav in 41k/16 bit to burn on CD (DJing)

9. put everything on my external 2TB NAS drive for archiving and later use

 

So I want to apply this method to Logic now. First problem: 44.1 project is standard so I have to use my own templete every time I start?

 

How can I export a .wav in 44.1k when my project is 96k? Do I have to use bounce for exporting?

 

that is it for the moment Thank you in advance!

1. You do not need to use a custom template. You can always specify the sample rate under the Details section of the New project window.

 

2. Yes. Choose offline Bounce and select your desired sample rate. Remember to dither since you are truncating 24 bits to 16.

1. Yes but then I have to set it every time to 96 or 192.. sets standard 44.1, no idea where I can change it.

 

2. This feature is also not saved and I cannot set 41 a standard bounce sample rate to export

 

Next questions : why does the track time start at one hour?!

 

How can I change the "timeline" from beats to time in seconds

 

How can I narrow down a track to only the part where I have music. I mean it includes silent parts after the recorded wav. Difficult to google this^^
