  1. If I understand all of these issues/problems correctly, your recordings are being stopped by GR, & you hear a loud "burping" sound at that point? If that is indeed the issue, it's caused by the music sound on your record not exceeding the noise level detected when you used the Wizard to set up your recording, or so GR thinks. To correct this problem, let the Wizard automatically determine the Noise Floor. Try to make a recording. If everything records fine, leave it that way (but for best results, you must go through this procedure for each new recording on a different vinyl record, because records have different sound & noise levels). If you get the dropout & stopped recording that is described here, start the Wizard over again, & proceed to the window in the Wizard that is called "Background Noise Measure". Look at where it says "Last Set Noise Floor." There'll be a number there like "-11db". Use that number as a reference. Then click on the the box that says "Manually Specify Noise Floor." Then use the up & down arrows (or highlight the number in the box & type in a new level; WHEN DOUBLE CLICKING IN THE BOX, MAKE SURE THAT THE NUMBER REMAINS A NEGATIVE [-] NUMBER!). You usually would want to lower the noise floor level by increments of "1", until you are able to make a sound recording without dropouts. Lowering the noise level, means increasing the negative number there. So for example, you would change the "-11db" to "-12db" & so on. If your first change doesn't work, change the Noise Floor again. I find that 2-3 dbs is the most I would ever need to change it, & usually, 1 db is enough. This would usually only be a problem with songs that have a lot of noise on them, or scratches causing clicks/skips, etc., or if you have a record that got a poor sound level estimate. Also, remember that you must let Wizard determine the sound level BEFORE going to the noise level window. The sound level window is the window preceding the noise level window, & is called "Recording Volume Calibration." As you play the song you want to record, wait a few seconds until the "Volume Level Detection" says "GOOD." If you proceed to the next window too quickly, you might not get an accurate reading here, which can be messing up your sound to noise comparison. I'm a converted CD Spin Doctor user, & I find Golden Records & Wave Pad, for the Mac, to be far superior than that program was, in every way. Hope this helps.
