| conga User Info... | Hey folks anyone know the easiest and goof proof way to transfer vinyl to digital. I am trying to archive my record collection. Oh and where to get software free limewire, bit torrent ect... thanks. - Wed, 12 Apr 2006 7:40pm Edited: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 7:47pm | ||
| The Box Drone User Info... | The absolute easiest way... Get a record player Get a mixer/amp with a line out or a tape out. Run a Y cable from the amp to the line in (not the mic input) on your computer soundcard. Open a wave recording program (cool edit, soundforge, anything that records audio coming in). Press record on your program & start your record. Make sure that the volumes are set so that the sound isn't peaking. That aught to do it. - Wed, 12 Apr 2006 8:45pm Edited: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 8:49pm | ||
| Jeremy Baker User Info... | I have the record player piped into the computer and record the tracks onto Cool Edit. Then crunch it down into an MP3 and fire it into my iTunes. - Wed, 12 Apr 2006 9:11pm Edited: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 9:12pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | How to copy vinyl to computer? Interesting... Hey I'll copy over some vinyl and write down how i did it here. I have a line out going to the line-in on the soundcard. Also, be sure to use a decent audio app. I use WaveLab, some people use Sound Forge, a lot of people use Goldwave (aCk). You'll need an app called Steinberg Clean to clean up your vinyl recordings. Also, they won't be as loud as a CD FYI. Sigh, I wish someone would of contacted me, I've done so much analog transfering it's sick, it would take me 2 hours to sit a client down and show them how to do the process. Remember, your copying a live signal, that's all your really doing. - Thu, 13 Apr 2006 12:13am Edited: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 11:34am | ||

| zakco User Info... | Just one thing to add.... Unless you're using a DJ mixer, phono signals need to be impedance matched and processed with the RIAA curve. To do this you'll need a phono preamp between the turntable and the mixer/audio interface/souncard. Older (and some new) home stereos have one built in. I ended up buing a dedicated phono preamp for this application. Also don't forget that real turntables have a ground wire that needs to be connected too. Oh, one more thing....phono preamps put out a -10db unbalanced signal. Pro audio interfaces use +4db balanced inputs. Some souncards will allow you to switch between -10 and +4 but you may have to deal with this issue too. Best of luck. -Z- - Thu, 13 Apr 2006 4:49pm Edited: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 4:56pm | ||

| Wackakapow User Info... | Hey Griphin, would you be able to take a 16-track reel and have the tracks separated into digital? If so, email us. [email protected] - Thu, 13 Apr 2006 9:35pm Edited: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 9:36pm | ||
| Mi*coll* User Info... | Oooo, that's a tough one. you'd really need a soundcard with 16 ins. could do it one by one, i guess, but synching it would kind of by tough. - Fri, 14 Apr 2006 12:38am Edited: Fri, 14 Apr 2006 12:40am | ||
| zakco User Info... | wackakapow, we've got a 32 input/output rig and do analog transfers regularly. I'll email you. -Z- - Fri, 14 Apr 2006 9:55am Edited: Fri, 14 Apr 2006 9:57am | ||
