Hi Guys
I have an Audio 8 and Sl1200 .I wan tto rip my vinyl collection to wav format, whats the best way and whats the bitrates 44??96??? 16 0r 24-bit ec.
Using Traktor Scratch for recording a QBert Ortofon needle .Decks routed through Traktor Esyasy connect cables .
16bit and a sample rate of 44,1kHz is enough for dj'ing and listening purpose.
I have tried that but the recordings sounds terrible. Can it be the multicore cables or just Traktor's internal Software recording crap???
When I play the vinyl normal compared to the recording the vinyl sounds much clearer and crisp than the recording.
get an audio program like audacity (free) or soundforge ($$$) to record the audio with.
I would suggest against using the multicore cables for recording vinyl... that's just me. i dont use them anyways... :)
go to your audio8 card settings utility (should be an icon in your taskbar, if on XP) and select 'Phono' for Input Mode of Channel A-B. When you select 'Phono', you will be able to increase the gain on each phono input.
then from within your audio application, select your inputs (1+2, or 3+4 depending on where your TT is plugged to), and should be good to go to hit the record button...
I wouldn't recommend using Traktor itself for recording your vinyl... using a dedicated audio editing program would offer you much more flexibility... :)
I did record it at that 6+db setting on the control panel in Audio8 taskbar and chose the right Input signal.Quote:

must I buy a Grado Cartride???
i'd stick to 16 and 44.
could be multicore cables or traktor's recording capabilities? other than that, i dont really know..
later today, i'll try to record some vinyl through traktor to see what happens...
Hi, I have the same gear but with this stylus:

(i think is the original that comes with the technics
Do you guys recommend a specific stylus to digitalize vinyls?
Record in the most highest quality settings you have availible then convert it down to a lower quality - you will find doing it like this gives you a much much nicer sounding recording than if you just recorded it at this quality to begin with.
