how to transfer vinyl to digital

Hi all - I have a very basic question about transferring some of my vinyl to digital on my Mac, and then to my iPhone.....

Do I just need some rca cables from my phono pre-amp to a USB on my Mac? So basically RCA to USB cable. And then a converter program - like Audacity on my Mac?

Seems way too easy :-)

I remember in the late 70s borrowing albums from friends and copying them onto cassette.  I was very poor and some of these cassettes got played a thousand times.

not what I recommend now but I shared it anyway.  Hope not to derail your thread.

Thanks for the memories. But yes, 100% irrelevant to the question.

You wanna transfer analog to digital? That’s what ADCs are for. The Behrigers are decent starters

Audacity is for recording/editing digital after you get there.
