Vinyl Ripping
how would i go about ripping my vinyl collection onto my mac/pc? I only have 1210’s i take it a usb digital tt would be needed along with some form of software, can anyone recommend me some decent stuff that i could use?
Actually the rip can be done with a soundcard like a FireBox or any soundcard with rca inputs. Ive done vynil rips on my hercules. You can use a program like audacity to perform the rip, just record the vnyil and then edit the track for deadspace and whoila rip performed.
Ok I have an M audio fastrack pro and I have audcacity as i got it free, could i plug my 1210 into the soundcard and then into the mac and do it like that into audacity?
if it’s that easy then i need to get started only got 2500 records to do 
yup its that easy, just select your fasttrack as the input in audacity and have at it!
Blimey wish i had known that previously as I would have started the rippage already ah well time to get the 1210’s out of storage with a selection of ye olde vinyl!
thanks for the info mate very helpful 
don’t forget that you need a PHONO IN to plug directly your TT to your soundcard…
If your soundcard don’t have it, you’ll need something like the Berhinger pp400 
to get a line signal from your TT
ok will look into this over the weekend and see what the score is cheers
Or you can run it through your mixer first, and run the mixer into the soundcard. That way you could also do a little EQ work
Yes i might wait until the Xone 4D arrives next week to have a proper mess around
and don’t forget to give your vinyls the old brush down before you rip em
and to use a decent needle/cart (I was amazed at the difference when I upgraded)
going to have to pick up a brush and a new needs it’s the same stantons on there from when i stuck em in storage erm 13 years ago lol can you reccomend me a decent needle please?
