| 206405 | 2004-01-10 02:16:00 | If talking about the old black stuff Disk Smith now do a turn table that is PC ready, so to speak. If you wont to use your GOOD turn table then you will need a "black box" to interface into your sound card. Do a google search as there are several ready built units and DIY designs avaliable. Make sure the software you use to make the digital copies has filters for pops and clicks etc.. that can come from the records, also presets for your needle would be handy for best reproduction. |

| 206406 | 2004-01-10 09:24:00 | Hello Less, it would be helpful if you tell us just what you wish to do. You say: you are trying to copy 'misic' records to your computer. What records? are they vinyl, or maybe CD's. There's much advice given here. Is it helpful for you? It would help us to advise you, if you can tell us about your setup. That is, do you have a record player, if you are wanting to copy vinyl recordings. Do you know how to connect that to the PC soundcard? Post back if you wish any more information. |

| 206407 | 2004-01-10 21:40:00 | The information I am posting below is assuming that you already have a record player connected to a stereo system, possibly in your lounge or wherever. Firstly you need to get the cables needed to connect the record player to your computer's soundcard. You will need to buy a 2xRCA to 1x 3.5mm Stereo Jack cable (Dick Smith stock them), and plug the two RCA plugs into the "output" sockets on the record player, and the stereo jack plug (looks like a headphone plug) into the "Line in" connector on your computer. This connector is on the soundcard, and should be next to where your computer speakers are plugged in (Line-in should be a Blue socket). IF you record player is older, and does not include a preamp (don't worry if you don't understand what it is), then you will need to do it a different way, buy using a 3.5mm stereo jack to 3.5mm stereo jack cable, to connect the Headphone Out socket on your stereo system into the Line In socket on your computer (as described above). Next you'll need to set up your computer to record from the Line In socket, instead of the Mic In socket. To do this, go to (in WinXP) Start-All Programs-Accessories-Entertainment-Volume Control, and in other versions of windows, Start-Programs-Accessories-Entertainment-Volume Control. In there, go to Options-Properties, and select the "Recording" option under "Adjust Volume for". In the list menu below, make sure 'Line In" is ticked. Click OK. Now under the column which says "Line In", tick "Select", and make sure the volume slider is set to about half way. Now close out of the volume control, and you're ready to go. You will need a program to record the signal coming in. I would suggest downloading the Demo version of Adobe Audition, from :www.adobe.com It will give you 31 days of unlimited use. You can then create a new document, click on the "Single track" button (top left corner), and then just click "Record" (red button) to start recording, and then hit play on your record player. You should start to see a "waveform" show up on screen as you record. Once the song is over, then click stop, and save the file, and repeat the process again. Then you can burn the files as audio tracks to CD. By using Adobe Audition, you can trim out sections of silence at the start and end of the track, and use various filters to get rid of clicking, hissing, humm etc. which is common in old records. If you need any more help, post back here and someone will give you a hand. |
