rubschin: Do they transfer all the crackles and scratches as well? I ask 'cos we have a tunrtable but SWMBO wishes to transfer stuff to CD and I am a confirmed vinyl man.
-
you get Audacity Sound Editor software with it that you can use to remove any crackles etc, it also comes with a more basic sound editor

when I ordered it I was chuffed with Maplins, it arrived 2 days after I placed the order
-
I shall consider this .... but I like the crackles and hissing of vinyl.
-
I have one, the transfer process is a bit tedious and. as Berek wrote, good for a rainy day. You don't have to do the sound clean-up and it isn't perfect anyway.
I also saw recently an advert for a box that connects your own turntable to a PC and does the same job.
-
That might be better ... for a rainy day when the family are all at work or school and I can have a good wallow in nostalgia ...... I'm welling up already sad24:

I was thinking of the 80's the other day, it brought tears to my eyes, it may have been Thatchers Britain but they were my salad years sad24:
-
Blimey .... you're only a bairn.
I love the fifties and sixties music which is why I need the house to my elderly self.
Not so much salad days .... more boiled cabbage but I do still have my ration card.sad24:
Errrrr ......... My eldest boy is 40 this year
Mrs S#2 delights in telling people that I got married to Mrs S#1 the same year that she (#2) joined the Brownies.

I hadn't adjusted the counterweight properly, thus lots of skipping. Rectified now. cloud9:

That's the easy bit, the tedious bit of marking and naming the tracks and turning it ito a digital album is yet to come.
I don't think I've touched it for over a year.

I know, I wired up my old deck, pre-amplifier, etc. to my sound card...
Was very pleased with it all until you have to re-name everything... although I think I found some software that recognised breaks in tracks and separated them automatically... rubschin:

O.K. - see if you can find The Stingrays "Live Retaliation" anywhere on CD. All I seem to find are sites that tell me the vinyl is worth ?7 - ?104 depending on condition.

All things mechanical, electrical and technical hate me at the moment - I'm sure Skynet is actually really and not just in Terminator films scared2:

I'll have to search through my old records like... they are likely to be somewhat older than yours... I expect they are these new fangled thirty-three-and-a-third things are they...? lol:

I use VinylStudio - it will search interweb for album/track info, makes life a lot easier.
Bought a stereo phono preamp to connect turntable to pc, rest was a doddle.

I am now sitting in a darkened room listening (and recording) Alien Sex Fiend - "Liquid Head in Tokyo". Missus (BB) asleep n the next room, fantastic. Next will be the "Maximum Security" album. cloud9:
