Agree about the ease of use of SIA. I do my rips from an SME20/Koetsu Platinum/Sutherland Ph.d to the emu 0202 using Audacity to capture at 96khz and 32 bit float. Audacity allows me to get the levels correct and monitor what is going on. As soon as I have saved the wav I use SIA to track split and then I convert to FLAC. Ignoring the time spent listening to the music (always a pleasure!) I reckon it takes about 20 minutes per LP to convert, tag and get cover art. I have noticed the following: 1. External sound cards seem to produce a quieter recording than internal ones 2. Having the laptop plugged into the mains whilst recording creates audible noise. Better on battery power. This is down to the switching PSU I think. 3. External sound cards powered from the laptop USB are quieter than mains powered ones. 4. I never post process - what is on the vinyl is on my recordings. I do however clean each LP with a Loricraft cleaner beforehand. -- Heuer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Heuer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2543 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40894 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
