Re: Devices for Recording LP's and 45's to Digital
In the '70's everyone thought tape sounded good. grin Seriously, you could get pretty good sound from chrome, especially if you could tweak the bias, but standard machines never got great enough sound from it to compare it to cd. I did have personally recorded tape made with the Older APH large tape recorders of voice, and it sounded very close to the originals to my ears, certainly better than ferics. I couldn't get any other machines to give me that good sound. Didn't matter what I did. - Original Message - From: Gary G Schindler To: PC audio discussion list.

Re: Devices for Recording LP's and 45's to Digital
Gary, that is why we had equalizers and used metal tape so with good quality machines we could achieve fantastic results. when the bias was tweaked, you could achieve a frequency response of 20 to 22000 hertz. . there are not many phonograph records that gave that kind of responce, especially 45 RPM records. - Original Message - From: Gary Petraccaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 8:10 AM Subject: Re: Devices for Recording LP's and 45's to Digital In the '70's everyone thought tape sounded good. grin Seriously, you could get pretty good sound from chrome, especially if you could tweak the bias, but standard machines never got great enough sound from it to compare it to cd.

Gary quips: I am Curious Keith, what kind of noise reduction systems are you familiar with when it comes to recording on tape. DBX was one of the best noise reductions I have ever used for recording. ARNS was another good type of noise reduction. you couldn't beat DBX. I don't know how old you are, but in the seventies, everyone coveted DBX. What's your Point? I'm well aware of Dolby and it's characteristics! Noise reduction right? I think you missed my point here so let mme try to define it so you will understand my comment as it pertains to the thread. Here's what I wrote: Erroneous! You will always suffer from sound quality degradation every time you duplicate an analog source file. What this means is that if you take the original analog source, in this case LP's as per the subject line, and record it on to another analog source, as you suggested, cassette tapes, then transfer it to your PC to Wav and/or then MP3, you will loose more sound quality then if you did the same excluding the cassette tape step and just recorded the LP directly to a digital format.

It all depends on the brand of tape that is being used. 3M put out a brand of tape in the seventies that was horrble.

An alternative solution, if there is no way to get a turntable in the same area as the PC, is if you already have a fairly good quality stereo system, with a turntable and a cassette deck, you can first record the vinyl LP's on to a good quality cassette and then, plug a cassette deck into your PC's sound card and record that way! Since I have my stereo system set up right here along with my computers, I just feed my main pc's second sound card into the tape monitor loop of my reciever, so I can record anything that I wish onto the hard drive!

what you have is a ground loop. Radio shack sells a special isolating transformer that goes between the preamp and the pc.

Re: Devices for Recording LP's and 45's to Digital
Hi Keith, I have never used groove Mechanic, so I can't tell you anything about it! I use Gold Wave and it is very accessable and it has a pop and click filter that works well if used sparingly! As far as Pre-amps, Radio Shack used to sell one, though I don't know if they still do, but any pre-amp designed for a magnetic phono cartridge should work just fine! HTH: J. J.

Re: Devices for Recording LP's and 45's to Digital
Sony has a turntable with onboard RIAA preamp that you could plug directly into your computers sound card, BA Software price, $110.00, includes shipping within the United States. Ion has a turntable with onboard RIAA preamp that you could plug directly into your computers sound card or USB port. This comes with the stylus and software to record and cleanup damaged records. It's marketed expressly for converting Vinyl to MP3 or Wave. BA Software price, $140.00, includes shipping within the United States. I'm quite sure Teac has something to but I'm still waiting to hear from them. If I had a lot of Vinyl I think I'd go for the Sony with Sound Forge but the Ion would take all the work out of the process by setting its own levels and automating everything else.

Re: Devices for Recording LP's and 45's to Digital
if you don't already have a preamp I would buy a mixer instead. It will have turntable preamps in it plus you can do so much more with it. For example you could record your tapes over to digital as well. - Original Message - From: Gary G Schindler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 10:22 AM Subject: Re: Devices for Recording LP's and 45's to Digital Hello Keith, go to http://www.tracertek.com and you will find a couple of really nice preamps you can use for hooking up the turntable to the computer. - Original Message - From: Keith Gillard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 8:14 AM Subject: Re: Devices for Recording LP's and 45's to Digital Hi, Good info, Can you suggest a good little pre-amp that would work well with my JVC turn table?

You can either get an inexpensive pre-amp that will boost the low level of a magnetic phono cartridge and equalize it correctly and feed the output of that pre-amp to the line input of your sound card! Then, all you need is a sound editing program, such as Gold Wave, or Groove Mechanic wich is designed for recording vinyl! An alternative solution, if there is no way to get a turntable in the same area as the PC, is if you already have a fairly good quality stereo system, with a turntable and a cassette deck, you can first record the vinyl LP's on to a good quality cassette and then, plug a cassette deck into your PC's sound card and record that way!

Re: Devices for Recording LP's and 45's to Digital
all you really need is a turntable with a built in preamp to plug in to the line of the sound card to make lp recordings. But I do use a mixer as a go betwene so I can e q my lps the way I want them. I would use goldwave, totalrecorder, sound forge to record my tracks. Either one of these is great. - Original Message - From: Paul Bolduc [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Users pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 6:00 AM Subject: Devices for Recording LP's and 45's to Digital Good morning to the List, I am looking for recommendations of which device or devices to purchase that will allow me to play and record our extensive LP library.

Re: Devices for Recording LP's and 45's to Digital
I have one from radio shack. You could spend up to $200 for a mixer. But you can find one to do the trick for about $80. There are used ones all over the net I am sure. Or you may find one in the local paun shop. - Original Message - From: Keith Gillard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 8:32 PM Subject: Re: Devices for Recording LP's and 45's to Digital Hi Don you wrote: if you don't already have a preamp I would buy a mixer instead.
