Dual 1019 w/Shure M91ED cart., Griffin Tech. Powerwave converter (comes with analog to firewire connector wire), pair of DH Labs SS 1m RCA cables into Mac. RCAs go into the Tape Monitor section of a nic e vintage Fisher X100 integrated.. Monitors flawlessly and i get some realy nice rips from this setup.I use the simple and generally very reliable Final Vinyl software (need at least OS 10).
That's really it. I use Audacity (freeware) if i really need to clean up ticks & pops.. but frankly the compression is usually worse than a little bit of noise.
Breaking into tracks is easy in Final Vinyl.. i usually burn with an external QueFire drive and i bought a nice external hard drive (made by Other World Computing .. great external HD).. The extra space lets me leave big .aiffs for awhile in case i want to burn 16-bit copies for friends and family.
The FV software apparently has the ability to convert up to 20 bit files (audio DVD?).. but my old sound card can't accomplish this. Maybe in the future.
I just use iTunes to convert the .aiffs to MP3s.
All-in-all very easy to do.. albeit tedious. I've done a few reclamation projects for my folks and friends on old, somewhat beat up LPs and it was a gratifying thing. Always nice to unearth old musical
treasures.If you have access to a Mac or have any questions.. feel free t ask away.
Cheers, Marc
