| 837839 | 2009-12-08 21:55:00 | SWMBO's Mother has asked me to look at ripping her entire collection of vinyl to a media centre, so can someone recommend me: - a decent, cheapish USB turntable - an app that can clean popping etc if necessary, and can encode to FLAC/Ogg etc? :thumbs: |

| 837843 | 2009-12-08 23:54:00 | Audacity would be the program to use. | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
| 837844 | 2009-12-09 00:02:00 | Audacity would be the program to use. Audacity is usually the one bundled with the turntables.... |

| 837845 | 2009-12-09 00:15:00 | Audacity is usually the one bundled with the turntables.... Yeah, Audacity is great. My parents use Audacity to do exactly that, they have a massive LP collection, and if they can work it anyone can! :thumbs: Not sure on USB turntables. They run a normal turntable through a stereo to EQ it how they like, the headphones out of the stereo and into the line in on the PC. Quality seems fine. |

| 837846 | 2009-12-09 06:04:00 | Jaycar in Christchurch have USB turntables, I saw them the other day, two models, average probably adequate for the job quality, around $120 as I remember. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 837847 | 2009-12-09 07:14:00 | wonder what sort of quality the cartridge is like on these cheap USB turntables?? The 'cheap' USB turntables usually have ceramic cartridges, and el cheapo pre-amps, from what I have read on 78rpm forums. These would be not as good as magnetic cartridges. I have also read that with some el cheapos the speeds can be a bit variable, giving a bit of 'wow'. The LAB 1100 turntable at DSE looks good value for money. Edit: but it is not USB, so it would just be plugged into your sound card. |
