dropdeded 0 #1 December 7, 2003 I volunteered to have 3 sets, like 10 records each set, copied to cd's for my dad. These are old records, and he wants to have them on cd. Im thinkin this is gonna cost a good chunk. Anyone have a ball park figure on having this done? dropdeded------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkvapor 0 #3 December 7, 2003 What hardware do you have? What outputs does your LP player have? You can do something like: LP -> CD recorder (something like Philips CD recorder) Or LP -> computer sound card or a converter Then you can use any multitude of computer software to burn the audio tracks.

It's easy if you have an audio capture card on your PC (you probably do and may not know about it), an audio editing program (takes out pops and clicks, separates tracks) and a CD burner (they're cheap these days). I got a nice shareware audio program at www.polderbits.com - you can use all the features during a 30 day evaluation period.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

dropdeded 0 #5 December 7, 2003 I have no idea whats on this thing. I guess maybe I should hit up one of my computer savvy friends and have em check it out. I mean I REALLY dont know shit about these things. That would be great to be able to do this myself. dropdeded------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivingchad 0 #6 December 8, 2003 I have copied dozens of LP's onto CD's for a friend of mine. I have an audio CD burner that is hooked up to my stereo along with the turntable. The one thing that he wanted was to actually hear the pops and cracks of the recording. As long as the LP is in good shape you get better sound from them versus a totally inhanced modern recording. Now a days a half decent CD burner will run $150- 200 Good luck with your project Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.

Once you digitize the LP to put it on a CD, you have lost the "analog sound" that the afficionados like. The pops and clicks are a drawback, not a feature. Also the sound on the LP has had to be compressed because vinyl doesn't have the full dynamic range of a real performance. So digitizing an LP gives the the worst of both worlds. The only purpose I can see is to preserve old recordings, since LPs degrade with use and CDs don't.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

mujie96 0 #9 December 8, 2003 My current interest (who may be around a while as he can't take a bunch of my money and die or piss me off because the last two got all my money) is a pretty kick ass vinyl spinning hunk of meat (if I do say so myself) and he just hooks up his computer to his mixer to record. If you're only recording one record I'm pretty darn sure all you need is a cable to connect the turn table to the computer and some recording software, and a CD burner. PM me. I bet I could get him to do it for cheap before we flee this living hell called CA. Just keep swimming...just keep swimming.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
