Guest OA Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 yeah, you can record it as a wav on your computer and then burn it to cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akindo Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Yes, I do this often. Get a good program, the best is SoundForge. But any wav recording program will do. But since your recording won't be very loud (you have to keep the recording gain low to prevent clipping), you should see if your wav program can "normalize" your sound file to 0 dB. Then it's as loud as it can be without clipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bjm Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 thanks for that. it's good to know it can done, but how do i connect my turntable to the computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akindo Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 Your turntable is connected either to a mixer, or a stereo. If either of these have audio out, you connect the L + R plugs of audio out to a cable, and the other end of the cable into your soundcard. Cable should look roughly like this: >----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mahoney Posted September 13, 2001 Share Posted September 13, 2001 Think "Cool Edit Pro" is better for recording then Soundforge, it´s much safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AutoMath Posted September 13, 2001 Share Posted September 13, 2001 Cool Edit Pro is great for ripping vinyls. To eliminate pops & clicks in the vinyl is really simple to do as well. BTW. are you guys doing any filtering on the wav exept for removing pop/clicks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akindo Posted September 13, 2001 Share Posted September 13, 2001 1. Why is Cool Edit Pro much safer than Soundforge? You mean Soundforge is crash prone? Because if that's the case, I can tell you that it is very stable on my PC. 2. The only processing I do is to remove pops/clicks manually. In Soundforge I zoom all the way in, then copy either a small section of the left channel to the right channel, or a small section of the right channel to the left channel (usually there is only a pop on one channel. If not, I don't do anything. I tried a prog. by Steinberg to remove pops/clicks, but it decreased the soundquality noticeably. What processing do you do, AutoMath?

Guest AutoMath Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 I listen for the clicks and when I hear one I manually zoom and isolate the clicks usually in spectral view where you really can see the click as a straight line. Then I have this line closely marked and use the pop/click eliminator filter manually to remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
