Download the free shareware program "Audacity" to your PC. get a y connector from Radio Shack and hook up your output from your preamp/receiver to your PC. Record your Lp's onto your PC using Audacity and then burn them to cd's. Audicity has a website that can answer all your questions too. Send them a donation as well, that free program is awesome.
Converting LP to digital. Advice please...
I am looking to archive some vinyl onto a hard drive that I can then transfer to CD. I would like to take it from line level output to a A/D convertor then store it on a computer hard drive. Then have a program that will allow me to take each LP side and dive the songs into individual tracks. Suggestions on a/d conversion and software would be appreicated greatly

Theo, your proposal woudl certainly work, but using a cd recorder for the a/d conversion, or creating a cd then loading it onto a drive as a digital file, necessarily limits the final quality to no better than cd quality, whereas if you use a better a/d you can create 24/96 .wav files which are closer to the quality of the original lp. uses a lot of hd memory, but that is pretty cheap compared to our other toys, on this forum. |
