Hi,

I'm recording my vinyls with mhwaveedit through jack. It's quiet lean
and fast, but track splitting has to be done manually.

Here my workflow:

- Record one side
- split tracks (cut and paste to new file)
- normalise areas with very loud crackles to lower amplitiutes (if there
are some)
- normalize track to 100%
- change bitrate from 32bit float to 16 bit and save track as flac.

A clear naming of the tracks makes automatic tagging (e.g. with easytag)
possible.

Best regards,
Martin
