recording LPs
This newsgroup is very interesting. There seems to be about
6 participants. Everyone has been very helpful and nice to me, but you all seem to hate one or more of the others. Unusual group, but you all seem to have some audio expertise. So here goes... Do any of you record LPs on your computer? What's the best software for recording, cleaning, slicing and dicing the audio? |

Preamp line out to sound card, check levels, hit record, bounce to WAV file, trim the ends as needed. |

Do any of you record LPs on your computer? What's the best software for recording, cleaning, slicing and dicing the audio? You have many options. At home, I use an EMU 1212 card, a tube vinyl stage built in my own workshop, and Cool Edit Pro (CEP -now called Audition) I clean the vinyl first with a cleaning machine, and do wet transfers. This takes care of 80% of the light artefacts. I make a note of any clicks during the transcription and remove these manually later. CEP has Noise reduction/Declick options which work well. I usually top and tail individual titles with a suitable fade in and out as required. I also remove the scroll between tracks and replace this with 4 secs silence. With care, you can achieve impressive results. Good luck Iain |

Everyone has been very helpful and nice to me, but you all seem to hate one or more of the others. There are probably 6 regulars, and a handful of us that drift in and out from time to time. This group has always been extremely antagonistic (to put it mildly). I am no longer a regular reader or poster, here but I get the impresssion that the group is actually *less* antagonistic than it used to be. There far too many totally OT threads Iain |

That's mostly because the "Krazy Kroo" ceased from posting here some time ago. If he should come back in any capacity things would likely get venomous in a hurry. But maybe not: most folks decided he was too insane to bother responding to. He pops his head in from time to time, only to get smacked down in a hurry. Howard does the same. If Bret Ludwig and Scott could refrain from spamming the group with OT posts, there's a real chance this could become a functional NG once again. There are already signs of this happening. |

Apparently the cog-no-scenti call this a "needledrop".
I never do this myself, preferring good digital sound in most cases and just playing the record in those others. But the hardware needed is a good preamp, a good sound card and some careful level matching plus a software package, Audacity as good as any. I don't actively collect vinyl but will scarf up certain things, particularly industrial training, vocational and church organ demo records. |

Despite the fact that CD has been with us for nearly thirty years, there is still a vast amount of material not available in that fomat, so being able to do good vinyl transfers is essential for people, students in particular, interested in music which is less that mainstream. I am thinking in particular of baroque music and early jazz. Iain |

I am thinking in particular of baroque music and early jazz. I think a lot of people in their 50s have extensive record collections - possibly boxes or crates in their basements. I'm one of them. Many of my records I have replaced with the CD version, but many I don't feel the need. Some have only one to two cuts I'm interested in. In some cases, the early CD version was not remastered and doesn't sound very good. Now there's ANOTHER, newer, remastered CD version you can buy, or you can enjoy the original LP version which was correctly mastered for the media. This is especially relevant if you're creating a CD for the road or MP3s for your player that you're going to use while you're running, cycling or treadmilling. For critical listening......I don't know. I don't do much of that. |

It's starting to work, IMO. |

Agreed. I get people asking me about needledrops all the time, but I enjoy listening to vinyl on a turntable. I've had some nifty equipment to do it over the last couple of years (I just sold a Korg MR-1000 on eBay, which was really fun but overkill), but I just didn't see the point. Besides, it's not like tranferring digital, where bits are bits. The needledrop will only be as good as your analog rig, and if you don't have a decent one your needledrops will sound worse than a CD. It kills me that people buy those plastic Ion TTs and think they're all set. I know I've said it before, but all of the LPs in my collection play. Not all of my CDs do. A single scratch or smudge and a CD won't play at all. And then there's CD rot. |

I think that's the one I used many years ago. I believe it was free or very inexpensive back in the day. It's far from cheap now. I don't think you can use the Upgrade Version ($100) to upgrade from CEP. dammit.... I'll guess we'll give Audacity a try. |

Those 600 can surely drown out that 1%. I mean for Christ's sake you drown everybody out with your posts. You used to post well over 1000 times per month on Usenet, many if not most of them right here. You were a one-man wrecking crew. You sure wrecked RAO. |
