  Search VA for old posts; there have been several extended discussions on this in the past year. My take on it was the folks really into it feel automatic cleanup routines in most programs remove a lot of real music and create artifacts. The hardcores use a complex procedure involving a lot of manual editing of some sort of graphic produced from .wav files, as I understand it, which is very time consuming. Read what Zygon said below.

  I just purchased a standalone CD burner (HHB CDR-800 Pro, used) and intend to record some vinyl to CD's. I think the best approach is to learn to love the occasional pop or tick. Doesn't really bother me when I'm listening to my *real* vinyl at home...

• Silly question, why not record your LPs to a Nakamichi Cassette Deck or a Revox Open Reel Deck? - Teresa 14:08:43 04/19/03 (6)

  that way they stay in the ANALOG domain. Why digitize a wonderful Analog signal, anyway? To me this makes no sense whatsoever! I do not understand why you would want to do such a dreadful thing to your LPs. To put it mildly I am totally perplexed by your idea!

    Im with you Teresa, I use cassettes for my personal use. I have been forced by necessity to use a cd-r deck to interface with my cd only music buds. Its just easier, quicker, more tactile (for me) to pop in a cassette, calibrate, and start recording. As good sound for less hassle.

    The reason I copy records to DAT and CD-R is because these formats are more accurate than cassette and consumer reel-to-reel. In the 1970s I used Revox A-77 tape recorders exclusively. Then I discovered the Nakamichi Dragon in 1983 and bought two of them. They weren’t necessarily better than a Revox reel-to-reel, but they were nearly as good and much more convenient. In 1991 I bought my first DAT recorder and it really surprised me in that it could make the most accurate copies of phonograph records that I had ever heard. In other words, digital recordings of phonograph records sound more like the original records than analog recordings using Revox and/or Nakamichi tape decks. Now I use TASCAM digital equipment exclusively.

    Best regards,
    John Elison

      prefer Analog cassette for the car, as it doesn't skip when you go over bumps, there is less chance of theift and well it's ANALOG. I am thinking of getting a Nakamich cassette deck so I can listen to LPs in the car.

      The picture you painted in my head of someone threading a Reel to Reel tape while driving down the read was hilarious!

      Happy listening,

        there was an aftermarket kit that could be installed in anything with a battery.

        This was NOT the best idea ever conceived for mobile music. Mobile hop-skip-and-jump, more like!

  There is a Mac version of "Spin Doctor" that will eliminate clicks.

• Emulation software? - zygon 11:30:08 04/19/03 (1)

  Do you have any software for your Mac that can emulate Windows? (IMHO anyone with a Mac could expand their horizons a great deal by acquiring such software -- given how much Windows stuff is out there, the expense would be well worth it).

    It would defeat the purpose of a software native to the hardware and in the Mac world that would probably mean giving up the ability to run dual 128mhz processors.

    I work with both everyday. It is easier to own one of each and better off in the end.
