Yeah, my heart is just breaking at the thought of giving these away

why not break down the collection into smaller "bundles" and out source from there? I would do some but cant dedicate to 300+ tracks. If you wanna sell some that you could do without pm me.

If I had the time, I'd do it myself.
And it's easier to keep everything in one bundle than outsourcing to several people.

I'll have to see how much time I have during xmas break. If I get it done during that time, I'm going to sell of most of these.

and don't you just love the way he completely ran over your thread. lol

It seems there is quite a few of you on here that know what your doing in terms of digitalizing your vinyl.

I have a friend who wants to do this with his collection. So I was wondering what sort of equipment and/or software is needed to make this happen?

He plans on doing it himself and has quite a big budget since he would have to purchase the equipment first.

You need the following:

- turntable
- Y-cable (RCA left/right to 3.5mm minijack)
- computer with line in (good sound card, with a kick as ADC)
- Software (for windows I use Cool Edit Pro 2)
- time, and patience

Any turntable will do, right?
What about those USB tables?

Any that you'd recommend?

couldn't you just let the recording program run? and just flip records when ever it finishes....cut them all up after a few hours of recording?

Any normal TT will do, you just want to make sure the motor is in good shape, because you need it to be steady, and give you even playback. Direct drive or belt driven should not matter, because you are not DJing. You want to stay away from the USB versions for best sound quality, because they have their own analog to digital converters, which may not be as good as the sound card's.

For sound cards, I use a Creative Audigy 2zs, which I bought years ago, when it was brand new, and high tech. Today there are lots more on the market, and from what I have heard from various people who produce, the M-Audio cards have the best analog to digital converters.

If you don't have access to Cool Edit, you can use Audacity, which is free and open source. Ive used it on linux and windows, and it does a lot of the same stuff, but for free! I just like cool edit, and stick with it.

Ok....so, who has records they want to get rid of?

I will record them for you...

What are you looking for? I have TONS of records from like 95 to 98/99, mostly different genres of house....

lol this thread was started two years ago!? I thought it was last year. I wonder if NuEra actually got someone to do it.

Originally posted by NuERA Wanted: One ambitious, trustworthy, music lover with lots of free time. I'm looking to give away about 300 records, mostly trance, with lots of prog, and some house and some psy, to anyone that will take on the task of recording all my records into .wav or .aif files. There are a few conditions... 1) It's all or nothing, I need a commitment to finish the whole job, otherwise its useless to me. 2) I want every tune from every record, both sides, ect ect 3) All the naming of files must conform to my system, and the sound files must be trimed nicely at the start and end. 4) You must have your own turntable and a decent soundcard. It doesn't have to be top of the line, just nothing that sounds like shit. I'll supply a drive and give lots of time to complete the task, ie a 3-4 months. Obviously there is a lot of trust involved, so I need to feel confident that the person won't take off with my hard drive and records. If you are up for the task, hit me up with a pm and we'll talk!

lol. i just re-read this whole thing and one thing sounds pretty ridiculous.

why would you care if they only did 100 of the 300. Or even 20 of the 300. You are still getting rid of those records and getting them digitized. doesn't matter i would say.

also, i think that some payment would have to be involved. a vinyl costs like 2 dollars now a days, you can't expect people to get paid in only vinyls, each one would take at least 30 minutes+ to do. it's slave labour.

don't do it Bobby!!! lol
