Answer 1

Yes you can buy (from Argos in uk) a turntable that plugs into your computer specifically to transfer the music from vinyls to cds or save on your computer.

Answer 2

you can use any audio recording software. there are many devices on the market for importing analog sound. do you have a fry's electronics in your area? they have several different devices. they are all under $100. it's just rca jacks on one end and a usb on the other. not fancy looking at all.
if you already have a video capture card that has rca hookups you could use that as well. just import to the video editing program and extract the audio. even basic editing software will allow you to do that.
but if you want to buy the audio only device check out fry's or maybe compusa. i looked around online but could not find anything. but i know they're carried in the stores. they're usually in with the sound cards.

Mine is a replica of The Masked Marauders, the album that became into supposedly secretly recorded at Hudson Bay with the aid of a supergroup composed of John Lennon, Paul Mcartney, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan and an unnamed drummer. the story became right into a gag (a minimum of i think of it became right into a gag) in Rolling Stone, yet have been given lots interest that they dragged a team of imitators (a minimum of the legend says that they have been imitators) into the studio and recorded the all time super consultation. in case you hear with your eyes closed, during the pops and hisses and crackles, you are able to very almost have confidence it. it relatively is stuff like that, and maximum of my bootlegs, that may not in any respect finally end up on CD, that I cherish. Vinyl's super, i've got nevertheless have been given one thousand products and 3 turntables (do no longer ask how lots different crap, my basement and storage appear like a alien craft crashed right into a 1982 pawn shop) notwithstanding it relatively is rather all pertaining to to the content fabric, and irreplaceable products like the MM, properly that and Vaughn Monroe making a music Ghost Riders in the Sky. i've got fifty two diverse variations of the music on my computer that i'm attempting to combine right down to one, yet Vaughn on vinyl continues to be the best.

Answer 4

there is a great peice of software called lp recorder(http://www.cfbsoftware.com/lprecorder/lprecorder.htm),it basically copies any vinyl or audio cassete from its source to your hard drive
what you need is a audio lead to attach to your auxillary sockets on your hi-fi and then plug in to your line-in socket on your sound card(or mic socket)
its just a case of syncronizing your sounds and recording them over,couldnt be easier ,the software does cost around £30 but this is a bargain in my opinion
as for free software that does this type of copying take a look at http://www.download.com/Direct-MP3-Recorder/3000-2168_4-10554931.html?tag=lst-0-7,this
is a free tool that will record your lps in much the same way as lp recorder,dont be put off by the name ,it does the job,ive tried it and the good thing is its free
good luck

Answer 5

For a good quality vinyl rip i use a turntable, pre amp, equaliser and magix audio cleaning lab. you only need to use an equaliser if you want to shape the sound more to your taste and is also good if you want to cut some high frequency hissing out of the track.

Answer 6

Suggest you download www.polderbits.com
Connect your Hifi to your PC and follow the instructions.
It will even take out crackles and pops.
It is free to try and you can get a lot done in that time. I have transferred all my 12" and 7" to discs.

Answer 8

Does your turntable have a line out.

You should be able to connect that to the line in on your audio card/motherboard and use Microsoft's own sound recorder or something like Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net) which is free to record from the line in.

Answer 9

There are affordable turntables that plug straight into your USB port, they come with the software. They start under $200.

Answer 10

I did mine via a lead i made up that connected the pc (3.5mm stereo jack) to my hifi (two phono plugs).
I used musicmatch and set the record setting to line in.
Hope this helps dude!
