Vinyl to CD

[vulcans]

Does anyone know if its possible to copy some old vinyl records onto CD.. If it is, what do I need to do it, and what sort of costs are involved?. Many thanks, keep it simple if you can!..

Take the line-out from your stereo to the line-in of your PC sound card then record the record to your hard drive (you will need special software for recording and editing sound (.wav) files such as Sound Forge). I tend to record a whole side as one big .wav file then edit it into the constituent tracts after normalising/hiss and scratch removal etc Simply burn the tracks onto CD-R as a music album. To recap: you need a PC soundcard, a line-out to line-in cable (phono to stereo mini-jack), Sound Forge or equivalent, a CD burner and CD burning software... simple! I am sure I have seen free/shareware sound manipulation software on the web so your main cost will be a burner (�50)
