Does anyone know how to record from vinyl to MP3 or WAV? Also what other equipment & accessories, besides a turntable, do i need? Thanks!

mixers can= amps right? i can plug in my phonos into my mixer and then output the mixer into the computer right...

anything w.out phono plugs deserve a big fat WTF

of course that doesn't have to limit you... i have lots of RCA/Phono cords and stuff running around my room, so I always have a bunch of gold plated single channel Phono to 1/4" adapter jacks around just incase... there's nothing more frustrating than not being able to put a signal into your mixer... or computer... or brain... whichever you prefer

**djfreaq plugs main mix out into brain and dissolves**

No special software is needed. Any sort of program that will allow you to record from your sound card will do the trick.

I use Adobe Audition 1.5 to record and remove noise/pops from the vinyls I rip.

But anything will do the trick. Even microsoft's sound recorder will record it into a wav file.

But yea, tons of software will do it, nothing special is needed.

Theres also Audacity, it;s a open source recording program for windows, linux, and mac. I really suggest that everyone should check it out. I have had less problems recording really long sets (4-6hrs) with audacity than with sound forge 7. And the best part... It's Free and it doesn't have any form of spyware in it!!!!
