Ripping Vinyl

| Hey guys, first post for me, but been reading for a while. I was wondering how you guys who have gone digital get your music off of vinyl into a digital format. I don't have any of the hardware I need other than a computer. I'm getting a M-Audio Firewire 410. What turntable would you recommend for ripping? I'm not looking to spin with it, and hopefully, it would be under $100. Also, should I use an amplifier or anything? |

Umm, anything should do the job. Its the stylus and cart that makes the sound quality. I would prefer something with direct drive to make sure you get a decent steadiness in the pitch.
You will also need something to boost the phono signal. DJ mixers come with this built in. You will then require some sort of recording program. There are plenty of wave editors out there that will do the job for you. |

| Thanks for your reply. Do you have any stylus and cart recommendations. Also, other than buying a DJ mixer, are there inexpensive options to boosting the phono signal? |

Get yourself a Linn Sondeck :D
Only kidding, I use a 1210 through a Pioneer DJM707 which is pretty good. Decent interconnects help as does some digital noise reduction once you've got the track on the computer. Run a profiler on a few seconds at the start of the recording before the music plays so you can filter out the wow, flutter and resonance of that particular record.

-just plug the wires and start recording in your fav wave editor.
-leave enough room (moderate sound volume) to work the recording in the editor.
-you will need a denoiser/noise-reduction.
-normalize it, and you can add, if you think it needs some, gain and crompression.
sometimes i record more than 2 times to edit (cut n paste) parts with pops/clicks. |
