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 :-)

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.

On Amazon for like 200 bucks they have a turntable with usb and Bluetooth out. That could be a simple way, temporary swap out.
