Recording old vinyl records - Sound Card?

I have an HP Pavilion P7-1054. I want to record my old records. I can hook up my turn-table to my amp. I need to hook up my amp to my computer. I can buy a mini-to-RCA adapter to hook my amp to my computer sound card. The instructions say "verify your sound card can handle the line" I don't see anything in the back of the computer that shows "sound card". Where would I plug the cable into the computer?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Please try line in (yes TRY, I'm not saying this is going to work because you many need more hardware to convert from analog to digital first). Your amplifier may help but I'm not sure what is your amplifier.

Remove "Pop Noise" from an old vinyl record?

Hi guys,
How can I fix or let's say take out "pop noise" from an old vinyl record.
I have this old song that I need to use which was on an old record.
I saw a QT tutorial somewhere one time but can't remember where.
Can anyone help me with this please.
Many thanks in advance,
ZIA

Yes Zia this is a basic fundtion but it can be very frustrating if you try to do too much at one time.
That's my advice, once you get into the Anaylsis(not Actions) portion select just the points where you find the pops manually, no more than a few minutes at a time or else your computer will spend all day trying to highlight all the problems, and believe me you don't want the fix that comes from letting it go through the entire audio in 24hrs.
It's best to just try to fix section for section and listen to the results because sometimes the audio will come out sounding distorted and you have to go back and Edit>undo the fixes
Good luck

I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac. The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out. How do I get them recognized.

I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac. The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out. How do I get them recognized. The symbol states the songs were downloaded from iCloud. I would like to get them to play so that I can make a playlist, and burn a CD.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I want to record a vinyl record directly to my iPad from my USB turntable

I just bought a new turntable and I have many old vinyl records. Can I record these records directly to my iPad Air? The turntable has a USB output. I could the audio files into my computer but I prefer to do it directly to the iPad if possible.

If you want to try it, go for it. However videos are imported via the photos app and that only works for photos and videos that follow a very strict naming convention. The reason you get sound on a video is that it's all packaged as the .mp4, .m4v etc of the video file. The connection itself only sees photo and video files. It doesn't see documents and doesn't see audio files. Maybe there's an app out there that does.
one thing to bear in mind, in 2011 Apple changed the amount of power allocated to the port, and available to the camera connection kit (that's what you're seeing that has the USB in) so stuff that worked prior to that sometimes didn't work after.

Improving SNR on Mic recording to built-in sound-card's mic jack

Hi all,
I've been doing my recordings from the built-in mic jack in my laptop (sound card is the basic Intel HDA). From the 'headphones' jack of my Korg, this is not a problem, as the volume level is plenty loud enough for my input volume in alsamixer to be set to about 13% or something like that, which basically means minimal/negligable noise.
However, I just purchased a Shure SM57 mic for vocal/guitar recordings. It's an XLR mic, so I use an XLR cable, an Audio-Technica transformer to convert it to quarter-inch, and then a quarter-inch to headphone-jack converter.
My problem is that the volume levels, as you may imagine, are really low on such a setup, such that I have to turn alsamixer input volume up near to 100%, AND activate some mic boost as well. This means that I get heaps of noise, which is obviously non-ideal.
How can I improve the SNR ratio? Some other sort of converting transformers? Do I need a pre-amp? Are there good noise-removal plugins in Ardour that you could recommend?

If your profile is correct you are running Lion so you don't have a DVD you use the recovery partition.
As long as you do an overwrite install and not a clean install (were you wipe the HD before installing) your files will remain only the system files will be written.
Having said that even though it is safe to do whenever you're doing something like this you should have a good current working backup just in case.
See OS X: About OS X Recovery - Support - Apple for information about using the recovert partition.

Recording/Copying vinyl records to a MacBookPro to CD

Being new to Mac and iTunes, is there a recommended method to copy older vinyl records to CD via my MacBook Pro? Is there a device that plugs into a turntable or tuner that converts the signal to digital that can then be copied to a CD?
I would appreciate any help and suggestions.
WM

I purchased an Ion usb turntable from Costco that comes with IZ vinyl converter/and Audacity. So far it works except I have not been able to hear the file once I play it from the iTunes library. The process was pretty easy and the price was $125 for the turntable which came with the conversion software belt drive turntable , and stylus. Any help as to why the files to do not have audio would help.

Recording from mic, not sound card

Hi there. Relatively new to Audition so trying to get my head around it!
I'm using Adobe Audition 3.0 and i'm mucking about with it basically to get some experience for my uni project. I'm trying to compile and edit together a collection of audio clips from a number of web streams. I've done it before for a while on a different computer and it worked fine but i'm having trouble doing it right on this occasion.
Basically, it's recording from my microphone rather than what's being played on the computer. I have no idea how to change this. Any help guys?

I bet you've moved to a Vista or Windows 7 machine.
Under pressure from the record companies, the ability to record the Stereo Mix output of you computer has been disabled or removed from many new computers.
You may be lucky and find it's only been disabled on your machine. If so, then do the following:
To enable:
->> go to Control Panel
->> Hardware and Sound
->> Manage Audio devices
->> in the Recording tab window right click in the white area away from any devices and from the menu enable "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show disconnected devices"
->> right click on Stereo Mix to get the properties window and in Device usage "Use this device (enable)"
However, there have been many reports in here (you can do a search) that some computer manufacturers are actually removing this ability entirely, again under pressure from the record companies.
This being the case, you might try some software called Virtual Audio Cable: http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
You have to pay for it but at least there's a trial version so you can see if it works for you before laying out your money.

Recording audio directly form sound card

Hello,
I am new to flex but my first app is a little bit more pro than you would expect form a rookie. I would like to record sound that is currently played on the local computer. I saw some codes that use the microphone, but this is undesired. The client machine may not have a microphone hardware or may play the sound on headphones. I think this must be possible but may be not a common task so that's why I can't find the solution? Can any one help?
PS: I am sorry if this is the wrong forum to post - if it is, please direct me to a proper forum.

Hi. I would like to record my vinyl records with my ipad.

I have a good turntable and a lot of good vinyl LPs. Is there an app to record them? Any tips or ideas?

Since the iPad doesn't have the appropriate connections for audio input, I serious doubt that you can do that.
It is actally quite straight forward to do this with a computer and a analog to digital converter. Once on your computer they can be imported to iTunes and then sync with your iPad.

AU plugin for removing pops/clicks on old vinyl

I use Sound Studio 3 to direct record old vinyl records. Until I got an Intel Mac, I was using the AU plugin from SoundSoap to remove the pop/clicks/hum, etc. from the recording. But it no longer works with the Intel Macs.
I was wondering if anyone knows a good AU plugin that will work that I can use with Sound Studio 3 that will do what Sound Soap did?
Thanks,
Bryan

ClickRepair isn't exactly what you're looking for, as it's not an AU but a stand-alone application, but it's by far the best thing I've found for cleaning up vinyl.
http://wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/~briand/sound/
I just transfer my vinyl as two .aif files, run it through ClickRepair, chop them up and burn or store the files. I'm guessing that it'll run in Rosetta, but there is a demo so you can try it out.

Vinyl records (yes)played thru computer

Ok, I have an HP media center m8013w running Vista Home Premium ,which does more than I have learned how to use at this point.
I have recently recovered some very (30+ year) old vinyl records that I owned in a previous life.
I have a good quality turntable to play them on and it has left and right audio input plugs. I have connectede to audio 2 L&R but can't find a player to get the sound out.
I want to be able to copy these to my hard drive for posterity and play them straight out, some may be in such bad shape that not worth copying.
First how do I get them just to play in order to edit and listen?
Second how do I get them to save to hard drive?
Anything will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Check your mixer settings (through the control panel likely) to make sure you don't have the audio input channel you are trying to use muted. If they aren't muted, then one would think that Windows Media Player or Winamp would have a source configuration in it's setup or preferences in order to hear the records. Also, what sound card are you using and have you checked their website for software/advice?
I too am looking to someday salvage some very old records left to me by my parents, and I honestly think that the best solution would be to buy one of the new USB turntables that come packaged with software to do exactly what we are trying to do. Less muss, less fuss, just have to save up the $$$$.

How can I get my (vinyl) record music into iTunes Match?

I have a rather large collection of music on CDs, Tapes, and records.
Now that iTunes Match exists I would like to include all of my music into my iTunes library.
There is no easy way (that I know of) to load anything except CDs into iTunes. So for the rest of the library one must either buy all the music again or buy equipment to play the music one time and convert it to a newer format.
My CD collection is mostly loaded and since 99.999% (virtually all) of that music is already in iTunes Match it is not uploaded to iTunes again, but it quickly becomes available to play on all my iTunes Authorized Devices.
With the exception of that 1 in ten thousand songs that I may have that iTunes does not have in the Match library there is no reason to import the music at all - other than to prove I have the actual CD's. (In any case I suppose I could have borrowed them for that anyway.)
However for CDs at least they can be imported - but for tapes and records I know of no direct way.
With something state-of-the-art like iTunes Match and my PC(s), iPhone(s) and iPad, why use stone-age-like means to prove ownership of outside-of-iTunes music?
Why not provide some other information to identify albums owned and have them available in iTunes Match without the 99.999% useless step of loading them?
In fact for most tape music it is no longer playable (to convert) as the rollers in the tape devices deteriorate and they no longer play.
Vinyl records play just fine, just not easily into a PC without purchase of expensive equipment that would be used only for the one-time load (which is really just for proof-of-ownership).
What a ridiculous waste of time, energy and funds for that 1 in 10,000 songs that may not yet exist in the iTunes Match library. Okay, as the music gets older it may even be 2 in 10,000 - but I doubt it.
I remember that each album (and 45 rpm single) has identifying information scratched into it (around the inside of the innermost track) - can that (or something else) suffice as proof of ownership to get the music into iTunes Match?
Please respond with ideas to quickly and easily get already-owned vinyl record music into an iTunes Match library.
I personally do not care if 1 (or 2) out of 10,000 of my songs gets lost because it is not in the iTunes Match library - couldn't be that good in that case anyway.
Thanks!!

I too have not figured out how to convert my vinyl collection to iTunes match. Here is what I have tried:
I record my vinyl records onto CD using a Sony RCD-W500C which makes a very high quality recording. I make sure the song lengths are the same as those from the same album at the iTunes store.
Then I import the CD into my iTunes music library. I have to enter the names of the tracks manually because Gracenote cannot identify the names of the songs. I do this while the music is in my iTunes music library and the CD has been ejected from my PC.
Then I try to get the iTunes Match, but it never works. I do, however, get the artwork from iTunes. iTunes then uploads my songs into the iCloud. When I download them back onto my PC and iPhone 4s, I get the identicle recording that I imported onto iTunes. I know this because I can hear the static and crackling of the vinyl. I don't necessarily mind that noise, but I figured if I paid for the iTunes Match I should get the AAC 256 bps music. After all it doesn't cost iTunes anything to give it to me. And there's no way I'm going to purchase all my vinyl records again. I have about 500 albums.
I do buy all my new music from iTunes because I think it is the best system available. I just think it could be so much better if they would let me download the highest quality recording of the music I own from them.
I have also tried the Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio which records my vinyl records into a music file on my PC. But that doesn't get the match either.
THERE HAS TO BE SOMEBODY OUT THERE THAT CAN TELL US WHAT ITUNES MATCH LOOKS AT IN OUR MUSIC UPLOADS THAT DETERMINES WHETHER THEY GIVE US THE MATCH!!!!!!
When you download a CD, there is some information embedded in the CD that iTunes matches. I don't believe there is any information embeded in the vinyl albums, but when I burn them onto a CD-maybe I could add the info onto the CD before trying to match it if I just knew what they looked for.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me on this.

Import folderstructur vinyl records

hi there,
i have just finished turning a pile of old vinyl records into a pile of aif files.
i named the files after the name of the songs preceeded by a three-digit number (per album).
the songs i put into folders named after the albums.
the albums i put into folders named after the artists.
now i want to import this into i-tunes preserving the artist/album/song-structure but i-tunes just imports a big pile of files.
how can i keep the hirachie, i would be very happy if somebody could help...

You can't do what you want as the files do not have the MPS Tags in them required by iTunes.
The best thing to do is add each album one at a time and edit the MP£ Tag in iTunes, using the 'Get Info' command in the File Menu.
