Re: Vinyl to Mp3 Mac

Just wondering , what do you want it ripped for? why mp3 and not wav. format .

I mean if you have some Vinyls which are to me like collectors items wouldn't it be better to have them on Wav. for sound quality purposes,

DIDI install Win XP or vista on your laptop and run the windows program from that OS.
Piece of cake.

I probably would. I always use highest quality possible. Just used Mp3 generically . Perhaps I should have said Vinyl to computer.

Re: Vinyl to Mp3 Mac

I guess your best option would be one of those audio digital recorders , if you use a software to rip them into your computer most likely the conection is going to be a RCA into a 3.5 mm jack cable . You will def. loose sound quality , unless you have and nice external interface ( sound card ) .

but if it is done from the turntables into the and audio digital recorder the conection would be Rca from Rca , making it sound nice and not loosing audio quality.

Hope this can help

Re: Vinyl to Mp3 Mac

I'm also looking to find something now to rejoin the the files, after conversion.

Mackie's Tracktion 2 may be worth a look Di. Tracktion 3 is their big thing now which may well have more bells and whistles than you need and may be more than you wanna spend?? Since 3 came out, 2 has been available at a steal - go here to create an account and you can get it for $29.99 (us)

If you're running your t/t through a mixer or an amp then you'll have more options as the signal will be at line level so grounding and pre-amplification will be taken care of - the interface you choose depends on budget but may be worth considering recording to something external (i use an iriver hd340) direct to mp3 then simply dragging into your mac - more efficient time-wise too if you have a lot to do as most software takes a while to render the finished file ?
