Please note that other third-party recording software packages are also compatible with this turntable. Cakewalk PYRO is provided as our recommended PC software because of its ease of use and recording versatility. It allows you to create MP3, WAV, and WMA files, as well as remove clicks, pops, and crackles from noisy LPs with DeClicker; clean hiss, hum, and other annoyances from LPs with DeNoiser; and design full-color CD-labels and jewel case inserts. Audacity, provided for Mac users (also works with Windows), is free software, distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
