You really don't "rip" from an LP, you record it. And recording it is trivial, you can use anything from Windows' recorder applet on up to ProTools. More interesting is what do you want to do after you record it. Most folks want to at least split the songs into separate pieces. Most run some de-noise/de-pop filters over the songs, etc. I personally hate the distortions that the noise/pop filters add. I just listen to them as recorded. Getting the recording levels right is important to get proper signal to noise ratios. If you have a low level, as @raglencross wrote, you end up with crappy s/n ratios This month's Stereophile has an article on this very topic. (well, converting LPs to computer files, not USB turntables). They make the startling claim that properly encoded digital copies sound wonderful. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
