LP recordings (need to put on CDs)

[jehangircama]

anyone knows how to convert LPs to CDs? thanks

I use a NAD C 660 CD recorder with a turntable directly off my hi-fi. With recording onto CDs, a run-through is usually needed first in order to establish the optimum recording volume. Excessive volume has a completely different effect in CD recording from that in tape recording, or so I have found.

I am in the process of putting much of my vinyl onto CDs. There is also the decided advantage of rearranging tracks to suit yourself - putting all the piano solos together and so on.

Thanks. where can i get this NAD C recorder and what does it cost? and is the quality good?

connect your LP player to the computer... record it with sony soundforge 8 ( you can download or buy it ) then run vinyl repair ( in the program itself ) over the file and you can save it as mp3 or wav or whatever you want.. then burn the cd

You might have to put a RIAA amplifier ( not expensive ) between your LP and computer


good luck

The quality of the NAD is excellent but it did cost me about NZ$1200 I think. As fliszt has indicated, there are cheaper ways of doing it using a computer, probably at the cost of some quality but this may not bother you.

You could get your LP professionally transfered to CD for $17 at www.lptocd.com

They do a really good job and they're fast.

Porbably just RCA to 1/8" stereo cable if going directly into your soundcard. 

When doing it that way, I ususally need to put the signal through my receiver before my computer as the signal needs to be amplified.
