First, sorry. I would imagine this has been asked quite a few times.
But I just got a Macbook Pro and am interested to know what is the best approach for recording albums into a digital format on this?
Any recommendation on software or approach would be appreciated.
Thanks. |

| itunes yes. if its a mix cd then probably garageband and record it using the laptops input so it will be a whole file instead of divided into tracks. |

Within itunes can you tell me how this is done?
I have the turntables hooked up, cable plugged into the line in on the MBP.
What mention options do I select to start the recording of a track?
Thanks. |

Manual?
Can you or someone just save me the potential hours there and say - click this, that, this, and then that and be done with it? Or is it not simple? |

Audacity would probably be simpler so I'd download that. Switch the input at the drop box at the top and give it a go.
I checked the garageband manual pdf and it didn't state anything about ripping vinyl. |

OK. I downloaded audacity. I can see the L meter moving but not the right and I can't hear anything thought the laptop.
Can you help me a bit more please? You mentioned switching the input. Where is that located? |

| Ok I see the drop down where it should be but it is disable it appears. Is there something I need to pick first to enable it? |

| are the turntable connected through a mixer? turntables have very low signal and needs to be amplified with a RIAA-preamp which is inbuild in dj-mixers. If not u need that too or u wont get a good rip. Its like using a microfone without amp. |

Ok, it is in Edit - Preferences, but there is not a Line In option. Hmm...only VMWare VMAudio and Microsoft Sound Mapper and it doesn't sound that great through the laptop.
What am i missing here? |
