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.

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?

Any other software 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.
