Just a couple of slightly different little things to note, but only takes one read of a sentence to learn. Yes, you would essentially use it just like you did a cassette deck back in the day and you don't need special CDs to use it. A bit pricey (about $100 more than a good phono preamp), but saves a few headaches. No if you want and have the funds you could go with a stand alone CD recorder in which I would recommend the Tascam. All you need is a good outboard Phono Preamp and software like Audacity which is free by the way. You can record from LP to PC as mentioned. I helped a friend set up a system using it and it works great. It has both a phono preamp and a analog to digital converter, plus software. If all you have is the built in sound card for your computer, I suggest the Art USB Pro sound card. A good sound card, prefereably an external sound card, will also help. I bet your records need to be cleaned, and nothing works better than a vacuum record cleaning machine.
While transcribing from LP's to your computer can be simple, it can take more time and money to do a really good job. There are newer services that may be better than Rhapsody. With Rhapsody I can hear not only almost everything in my LP collection, but also all the music I didn't buy. Personally, instead of transcribing my LP's of popular music, I prefer to use a music service such as Rhapsody and iTunes. Do you have a soundcard or just the built in soundcard of your computer? There is a line in to either that will take the signal from the "tape out" of your receiver, that same as what you fed to your cassette recorder.Īs you are aware from making cassettes, this can be a time consuming process.
Audacity is a popular free program used by many here.
If you've recorded to cassettes from LP's, you should have no problems recording to your computer.
