how do you make a record album into a cd?

Answer 1

If you have a CD burner on your computer this is how you do it:. First. you need to have a cable with goes from 2 phono plugs to a 3.5 mm (headphone jack). You plug the two phonos into your record deck and the 3.5 mm cable into your sound card input on the computer. then you need an audio application that allows you to record - Adobe audition is very good for this. Configure your audio properties - so your record source is your input on the sound card - if you're not sure which ones then play a record and change the settings until you can hear the usic from your computer - you'll have to check playback is selected on the correct input. double click on the speaker icon in your task bar - this will give you your input and output selectors. I've done this loads - takes a bit of time but is well worth it.

Note: Don't bother trying to record with a microphone - it will sound terrible! With Adobe audition you can also 'clean' the audio to remove excessive 'pop' and 'crackle'

Answer 2

If you're talking about a vinyl record, then you first have to digitize it. You do that by connecting the output of your amp to the line input of your sound card (or sound port on) on your computer. Get some software such as Polderbits (google and find their site). It will record anything that goes thru your sound card.
Then, after you have digitized the whole album, use CD burning software to burn it to a CD. (Of course you'll need a CD burner).
Hope this helps!

Answer 4

you could do it the way these people are telling you to do it. but there is a simpler way if you have the money. there is a vinyl player/cd player that will record the songs from the vinyl to the cd. it costs 400$ but id say its worth it if you have enough vinyl discs.. http://www.hammacher.com/publish/71860.asp?source=Nextag&keyword=71860&cm_ven=NewGate&cm_cat=Nextag&cm_pla=ELECTRONICS&cm_ite=71860
