Here's my angle

1. needed stuff (hardware)
computer w /soundcard - recommend at least P3 (yes! it will do)
turntable
good phono stage
wiresk from turntable to phono stage to soundcard

2. software

I just used this thing called "goldwave", and an old version at
that.

I wanted something that would write to WAVE file directly
(*.wav) without any blings except leveling (volume and
the "equalize" function). get something that will display
the waveform of the signal as it records.

3. when recording

DO NOT clip the input signal--watch the signal strength
and make sure it doesnt clip. make the signal
maybe 80 or 90% of what the graph is capable of.

write directly to WAV file. put some fades on both
ends of the WAV file, trim, and "equalize" (or "level?")
to max the volume WITHOUT clipping the music.

4. burn the WAV's to CDs.

WAV files are approx 10 megs PER MINUTE. So you need something
like 700 megs per cd project.

I've been there but i dont do it now--i found out after burning
so many CD's that I couldnt be happy with digital. I bought
a cassette deck:-(
