Just a quick correction here. "WAV" is a Microsoft designed container originally for basic raw and
simple compressed samples. "Flac" is an open source lossless codec that compresses raw audio down to
~50% of its original size.
Record to WAV or RAW then burn to CD. Flac is not required in this signal chain unless you are
dumping your entire vinyl collection to HD first and you are hard up for space.
I used to record an entire side at a time, post process the audio with a hiss/click remover (used to
take nearly a day to do a side) and then used Cakewalk Pro Audio (yes, overkill) to spit the tracks
and set accurate cue points before I burned to CD. Back when I were a windows lad of course.
Regards,
Brad
