Keeping you old gold vinyl on CD
Keeping you old gold vinyl on CD
Keeping your old music lp’s by recording them to cd on your computer.
Many people have hundreds of LP records full of their favorite music that they would love to have on CD. Its really easy to do if you have the right tools and a personal computer.
What you need – a good quality automatic direct drive turntable preferably with a preamplifier built in that brings the audio up to line quality. A good quality sound card rated at 128 bit capable of sampling at 48khz, which is above CD quality. You’ll need a good quality CD burner.
An of course some audio editing software which has a number of filters and tools used to de-hiss and master your recordings. There is actually an Australian designed software called lp recorder that makes it an automated process by detecting the silences in between tracks on the lp and saving each individual track into its own file. Other software like sound forge, cool edit, dart audio are quite good alternatives which have the abilities to de-hiss and re-engineer the product. You can also get CD’s that look like vinyl on the non playing surface, just to keep that unique lp feel.
