| 70146 | 2002-08-11 06:31:00 | Hi, Friends. Is it possible to burn my LP collection to CD's using my existing turntable and amplifier? If so, do I need special software? The other (anticipated?) supplementary ? is: where do I get it (free, preferably!)? |

| 70147 | 2002-08-11 06:49:00 | You will need: - Good sound card - Cable to connect Amp line out to line in on PC sound Card - Recording software eg CoolEdit, Goldwave, SoundForge - Good burning software (Nero wins hands down) All decent recording/edit softwares have filters that will remove the pop/click/hiss from records. In fact Soundforge (the dearest) has a plugin especially designed for vinyls. |

| 70148 | 2002-08-11 06:53:00 | Music Match Jukebox is the way to go, it is very good and FREE. Just plug your turntable into your computers 'line in' socket at the back; or as I had to, into the 'Mike in' jack point. !!Make sure that your turntable's output is right for the computer; too much and you could fry your sound board!! You will find that the noise from your vinel recordings is un-acceptable in the digital format Music Match does have some ability to clean up the sound, but more would be nice. |

| 70149 | 2002-08-11 06:56:00 | I assume you have a CD-writer in the PC and a sound card. if the turntable has line out then hook it to the sound card direct. if the turntable does not have lineout then run it to a pre-amp and then to the sound card. (sound cards have line in plugs and good quality audio stuff has line out plugs and you just hook them up together and it works) WARNING this is NOT telling you to hook your speaker out from the amp to the sound card as this will give you smoke and flames :-) once you have all this working you can record .wav files with many diffrent shareware programs that will also remove all the pops and clicks from your music. once you have .wav files your CD-Writer software will have an option for make music CD and that it. many wav programs can be found at www.tucows.co.nz |

| 70150 | 2002-08-11 07:04:00 | Hi, question for Elwin. I have a connection between my receiver and stereo so I could play mp3z etc from PC & also can record back from receiver to PC. My stylus has now got to the stage it's practically got no head and needs replacing. As I bought the turntable some time ago (we are talking late 80’s/early 90’s) it’s proving impossible to buy another stylus. A friend told me Dick Smiths have a turntable that has a pre-amp so could plug directly into a PC or like a normal TT to a receiver as well. I have not had a chance to enquire about this yet but would be interested in peoples thoughts whether buying one of these would be worth it. Price is right – only $150. Like Orto I want to copy my vinyl except software’s not the problem. Have found Cool Edit to be good enough for me. Cheers Parry. |

| 70151 | 2002-08-11 07:45:00 | Parry, Have you been to any of the specialist Audio stores to enquire about a new stylus? There is one stereo shop in Dunedin that specialises in restoring old stereos, and last time I was in there, they had a whole heap of different make/models of styluses. What kind of turntable and cartridge is it that you have? BALDY :-) |

| 70152 | 2002-08-11 08:32:00 | Thanks Baldy, my turntable is a Pioneer PL-570 and the stylus I need is a Pioneer 295T. If you see one around I would be very keen. Would need to evaluate the price in whether it is worth getting a new turntable that has more compatibility & can get parts if needed or stick with my old dunger ;-) Whats the name of the store? thanks muchly Parry |

| 70154 | 2002-08-11 22:09:00 | Hi Orto, Run a stereo lead from your line out on your stereo, to your line in on your computer. the two programs that allow line in recording, are musicmatch, and media jukebox musicmatch is free, and mediajukebox is a 30 day trial, although I'm not sure if musicmatch normalises, maybe someone could answer that question. You will find it takes a fair bit of fiddling, to get the best results, both these programs have music editors that will help inprove your sound. To remove the pops and clicks scatches etc, you could try a program called depopper. All these programs can be found at www.download.com good luck, Bob |

| 70155 | 2002-08-12 00:48:00 | and of course if you dont have a line out, or a tape out, you can resort to using the headphone output... not the greatest of choices, but it works! | Chris Wilson (431) | ||
