vinyl rips

How good does a song recorded from vinyl into .mp3/.wav format sound? I wondering because a lot of the music I like is only available on vinyl, and I would rather bring cds to a gig. Thanks.

You would need to hookup the turntable to a computer and record each track. It's time consuming. Also, the tempo won't be exact because the platter isn't exactly at 0 tempo when you're recording (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Yeah i would imagine its impossible to keep a motor running at the exact same speed 100% of the time

It should be pretty accurate if you leave it on 0 on a Technics deck - they use a quartz crystal to make sure it's going as close to 33 1/3 or 45 rpm as possible, but you're right - wow/flutter still play a part and can make it wobble very slightly, shouldn't be too significant though.

It will sound as good as the vinyl. If the vinyl crackles then so will the recording.

I like vinyl cracks

I'd say you look into getting a software that will record the input signal of the assigned turntable. Soundforge is good (expensive too), but I remember I once did a Vinyl rip with Audacity and Polderbits - Good Quality.

i have vinyl rips of many of my tracks in case i can't use decks but they are never as good

you are degrading the quality through the mixer twice and also it your soundcard can affect it.

Yes, your soundcard will affect the quality of it. But, with a good quality soundcard the difference is so little, especially in a club. Still though i would prefer to use the record whenever possible because of the feel.

i have heard really good things about m-audio izotope when it comes to restoring your vinyl recordings. supposed to be really good with the pops and cracks of vinyl and give it some warmth if you want to.

couldnt validate it though. anybody have experience with it?

Thanks for the info. I really want to start building up a massive vinyl collection, but I think I'll have to start DJing with CDJs due to the availability of .mp3s/.wavs.

I'd be really interest in knowing how a software generates "warmth".
