USB Turntables
I'm not sure if this has already been asked.
Anyone here use a USB turntable to record their old albums onto a computer,
and how well did it work, or didn't it work?

I haven't used a USB one, but I did record a bunch of my parents old Christmas albums to CD this winter using a regular turntable. Just plugged the output from the stereo into the Line-in on my laptop and recorded it. Like ubereal2 said, you get ever pop and scratch that's on the record, but I guess that's what you get with a record anyway. Took about an hour and a half to do a standard LP, because you have to record each side, and then split the sides up into tracks. I suppose you don't have to do it that way if you don't want to be able to search for individual songs though.

I have looked for a program that shows you the expanded spectrum of a recorded peice of music and allows you to reduce the peak of a scratch, dampen hiss in particular passages & clone, then cut & paste that cloned part on a damaged area of a track as needed. But to no avail. I picked up Cakewalk Pyro thinking it would, but doesn't. Haven't tried searching since.
I know such exists. Back when CDs took off I saw a program on how antique recordings were edited as such before they were digital transcripted.
Haven't used a usb, my panasonic TT has built in pre-amp & works on my sound card jacks that use adapted down RCAs.

This is the system I have used to burn close to 300 albums that I had at a younger age. It has worked great for me.

ThinkGeek :: Ion USB Turntable They got record and cassete usb
with software to get rid of any scratchy or noise but that is what makes the records
sound good so don't remove too much of that noise. I want to get that scan tool
they have and use it as my gauge set since the ranger has the rally gauge package
and I have been meaning to put in some real gauge .ThinkGeek :: ScanGauge II Automotive Computer
