Hello all!

I have a question about ripping vinyl. Which software do you all use to rip vinyl to your pc? The reason I ask is because I've recently started to rip my vinyl to mp3s and I've been using the software that came with my soundcard, creative recorder. Now I seem to be having a bit of trouble with it, because the recordings are always quieter than your average mp3 ripped from a vinyl. I've worked out that this is nothing to do with input levels, because if I set them any higher than I already do the recordings are distorted. So obviously I want to record my vinyl at a higher volume without it being all distorted and crappy...

Your help on this would be greatly appreciated! And remember- the better my rips are then the better quality mp3s I'll be able to share on here!

Cheers,

barryfigiel.

cool edit 2000

use morpheus to download it. it should be there. if not, my aol SN is "teknoiscool" (minus the quotes, duh), i can send it to you.

Since we're in that area topic of discusssion ...
what type of equipment would you need to rip the vinyl to MP3...
just curious..
THANKS

all u need is a tt, decent soundcard and the correct cables

Equipment I use:
Technics sl-1200 mk2 Silver
Vestax PCV-175 Mixer
Phono to Stereo Jack connectors

Software:
Total Recorder; to record and normalise volume
Internet Audio Mix; To Trim Wave file to size
MusicMatch; To convert to 192kpbs CBR Mp3 and Tag



I have one problem:
With my Vestax mixer (was never a problem with my Stanton RM3) I have to turn the gain levels to about 2.5 so it only goes up a quarter of the way up the lights on my mixer, but it records at 90% at those levels.

My rips turn out fine, well according to Cable (I agree) but I could do with that sorting.

dude
i use wavelab 3.0
it allows you to records/rip, to normalize (and a whole shitload of other things), and to convert into mp3...

i use a denon digital turntable...damned best sound quality, i shit you fellas not...

into an audigy platinum ex soundcard...
i use soundforge 5.0 to normalize and clean up the trk & trim it...
then encode it w/ soundforge...192kbps..


such good eq..excellent clarity and tight bass, mids and highs...

where can i get the full version of sound forge?
