Ripping vinyl.......
View this Thread in Original format
A.B
Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find anything relevant under a search.

At present, I am ripping all my vinyl onto computer so I can then burn them onto cd.
I have all the levels set so that it doesn't go into red using Wavepad, however it won't let me convert them to 320kbs (the highest is 187kbs)

If I was just to save the file as normal (without encoding) once I had recorded the track, would it make a difference?

Thanks in advance

does it save the project files in uncompressed form? if so just use another application to encode

Yeah, but do I really have to encode though?

sorry to jack your thread...but does anybody know if you encoding a mp3 can cause bpm to fluctuate?

If you're ripping from vinyl, why not just rip straigjht into wav and keep the tracks as wav?

Thats what i've been doing.

+1

and no encoding to mp3 wont make your tempo fluctuate but downloading tracks without paying for them will.

Playing tracks on my tech 1200s makes the bpm fluctuate... :(
Time to see what can be done.


On a completly different and wierd topic. Does anyone else think of E-Chip whenever hearing or seeing the word time?

Thanks guys, that's the answer I was hoping for.

Addional note to what Spawnmaster was saying, re-encoding at a higher bitrate will not increase the quality. Just record your vinyl as wav & then burn to CD or convert to mp3 at 320kbps with dbPowerAmp to save a bit of room if you're just trying to back up your vinyl on CD/DVD.

Yep, P2P rips are often shoddy with fluctuating pitch. Support the artists kids... :)

alright I just recorded a track from vinyl to my comp. although there is a lil buzz noise from the mixer/ turntable grounding effect =( it's not noticable when you play out from speakers but in the headphones it is.
