In Reply to: Converting old vinyl recordings to digital posted by Big Dave on April 3, 2007 at 09:40:04:
This guy is going to spend HOW many hours transferring vinyl to CD? And wants to spend $70 on the hardware to do it?I dunno. With PC recording software as cheap as it is (couple hundred) and a decent 24/96 capable soundcard (another couple hundred) you could record your vinyl at 24/96 and author your own 24/96 DVD-V's or "DRM Free" DVD-A's - you may need to spend another $50-100 for authoring software. Even for Redbook CD I would go the PC route.
To me, a job like this is extremely TIME intensive. What is your TIME worth? Is it worth it to spend $70 and 1000 hours to get mediocre results? Or does $500 or $750 + 1000 hours make more sense?
1000 hours at $100 billing rate is... $100,000!!
Time is money... I would convince him to make his time have more WORTH by getting the proper hardware solution, or go the PC route if he's a PC friendly individual.
Then again, is he transferring a prestine, scratch and dust free collection? Or is he transferring a bunch of stuff of varying condition he's collected at garage sales? Or does he have a mixture of both?
Things to consider before one invests time OR money.
Cheers,
Presto
