I also use either Wavelab Soundforge or my favorite DC6 by Enhanced Audio. I use a Terratec soundcard that has a near perfectly flat response through the audible spectrum, with a built in phono preamp and RCA jacks so i can plug directly into the sound card. Most soundcards that are out there just do not have the frequency response to accurately reproduce the sound from analog sources. The methods using direct recording to sound card, or recording vis USB device, really aren’t that difficult to set up.Īlthough there are many ways to do this with presets that are on many software, they usually do not do that good of a job unless the album is in excellent condition, is very clean, and you use a good turntable, cartridge, and stylus. If you don’t edit, it will sound like crap.
Kind of interesting and a bit time saving, but if you’ve already got a high quality deck and system, then that’s a lot of extra money to spend, for something that will be lower quality.Īlso it doesn’t seem to give you the ability to edit the wave files - uploading from vinyl doesn’t take very long at all, but editing the files to remove crackle, vinyl hiss and hum from the turntable, plus remove noise from scratches etc, takes flippin’ ages.
