Record collection ----> Cd help

[micron]

My girlfriends dad wants to get his record(litterally) collection onto cd somehow. He has a turntable, and he bought a plug for it that fit's his soundcards input, but thats about it. Anyone have any knowledge as to what we should do next?

you may need a phono preamp, unless he has a receiver that can act as one...and also some recording software

mmmm, a lot of new turntables have integrated preamps.

This one doesnt, he has outputs on the back of his reciever/amp though. Can anyone recommend some good software?

Nero's embedded Wave Editor is probably one of the cheapest solution with 24 bits recording. However, it has some bugs regarding to 24 bits WAVE files. Basically it can record to an 24 bits WAVE file, but it can't read it back, which makes it almost useless for 24 bits editing.

Cool Edit were once favorite of many, but Adobe bought them and it now becomes "Audition," which makes it much more expensive.

Sound Forge is the best you can really get for this situation.

 

[gokickrocks]

use sound forge or wave lab
