Recording vinyl records

I have recorded one side of an old vinyl record onto garageband, as one track. I can split the seperate songs but how do you save them as individual songs on my itunes. I don't want to have to record each song individually. I have to many more to do. Any help would be great thanks.

I am having problems syncing recently recorded songs to my iPod. I am using an ion program to record vinyl records to iTunes. The songs are in the iTune library and will play on the computer. When I try to sync they show up but do not play. help

I am using an ion piece of equipment to record vinyl reccords to my iMac and in turn save them in iTunes. I have recorded many records this way and have never had a problem until yesterday. I recorded three songs from records to iTunes and was successful as they are on the song list and will play on the iMac. When I tried to sync them to my iPod they showed up on the menu but would not play. The iPod just skipped over the new guys. Am I doing something wrong or has my ion program flipped out? Any help would be appreciated by this old man. Thankyou

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

Recording vinyl records to computer using the Imic

Has anyone used the IMIC to transfer vinyl records to their computer in order to convert the music to a CD? I have seen mixed reviews on the IMIC and would like to know what other people think. I also would like to know what else is needed to make this work. My stereo system has two AUX ports labeled "L" & "R". I purchased an audio Y-cable (1/8" Stereo Male to Dual RCA (Phono) Male but that alone does not work. If I plug that Y-cable into an IMIC and the IMIC into my computer and use Garageband to record should that work? Is the Final Vinyl a better software than Garageband?
I am a novice at this and need the easiest process to accomplish the conversion. Any input would be appreciated.

You stereo system's AUX ports are probably inputs, not outputs. Does it have TAPE OUT ports? They should work with your cable to the Mac's audio input. See if you get any signal in the "Input" tab of "Sound" system preference. Select "Line In" and adjust the input volume slider.
You can record with QuickTime Player using "New Audio Recording" from its "File" menu.
You only need the iMic if you want to go directly from the turntable to the computer without using your stereo system. In that case, you have to use the Final Vinyl software to handle the RIAA equalization.

Problem listening to/recording vinyl records

Hello
I am trying to listen to/record vinyl. I am using a Dell 8700, Windows 8.1 and a Sound Blaster Recon3D PCIe sound card. I have the output from the turntable/preamp plugged into the line in/microphone in jack but am getting no sound. Does anyone know if this should work?
I have downloaded Creative's free Wave Studio 7 program from the sound card web site. It is for Windows 8 and earlier OS. I am able to record from What U Hear but not from the line in/microphone in jack.
Is it possible that it will record line in for Windows 8 but not Windows 8.1? Are the two OS that different?
Judy

Creative Support has informed me that Media Toolbox 6 andWaveStudio 7 are not supported in Windows 8.1 and that they have no plans for an update at the moment. They did suggest that I could try installing them to my Windows 8.1 system but if there was any issue they would not be able to support me.
I am probably going to use Audacity to record my vinyl. It is free and their website says it is compatible with Windows 8.1

Splitting tracks when recording vinyl reco

I'm currently recording vinyl records onto my hard dri've and would like to know if there is any way to split the tracks as it's recording. In other words, I record an entire side of a record at one time and eventhough it has 6 individual tracks, it's listed as one track. I know I can stop the recording after each track but that seem to be a waste of time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

SmartRecorder is specially designed for that job.

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.

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.

HT1473 I have an EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter (MixMeister) to export vinyl records to iTunes. The computer downloads (records) the songs from the record, but when it is to be exported to iTunes, I get a window that says iTunes unable to export. (compatability?

I have an EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter (MixMeister) to record vinly records to my computer; which then is supposed to automatically download to my iTunes program. But it does not. It records and stores (somewhere) in the computer, but when it is supposed to be exported into iTones, I get a window that says something about incompatability and/or "close other windows in iTunes; but there are no open windows and iTunes is closed. I followed all instructions to EZ Vinyl to the T, but no export/import to iTunes. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do? THX!

Tony, thanks so much. The message reads: "Unable to export to iTunes. Please make sure you close any active windows in iTunes. Would you like to try exporting again? [Yes] [No]"
And of course I click on Yesl, but I keep getting the same window message. I read somewhere, that MixMeister is not compatible with Apple iTunes 10 series versions. The advice said to go to control panel; Programs; click on iTunes; click on Change; click on Repair. I tried that, but I still get the same window message. Then I read that I should contact the mixmeister support website, which will be my next step. But if you can provide any direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again!

How to transfer a vinyl recording to a digital file on an iMac?

I have an analog output turntable and many vinyl records that I would like to get into digital form.

Two questions one what year iMac and two what kind of analog output from the turntable, line or phono?
The latest Macs do not have an audio input so you will need to use an analog to USB interface. If the iMac is older and you have an audio input jack you cam connect to that.
Now the big question is the type of output from the turntable, If it is a line level output you can connect this right to the input (either iMac jack or USB converter) if the output from the turntable is phono then you will need a phono pre-amp to boost the signal and equalize it. Look in the owners manual or search on-line to find this out.
Once you have your turntable hooked up to the iMAc you sillneed recording software. I like the Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder.
Once you have all this you]re set to go. You can take the files generated by Audacity and import them into iTunes for storage and playback.

Crop & Straighten script for vinyl record labels

Hey guys i have thousands of circular vinyl record labels that i have taken photos for.
I have created an action for doing this but it keeps opening many chunks as separate files and never closes/saves them leading the program to run out of memory.
I am hoping that a script can be created to allow the processing of a folder where it automatically saves/closes the files to a new destination.
It would also be better if it can close without saving and chunks that are small which would save me having to delete them manually.
Thanks

Have a look at this thread, it may help.

Problem with vinyl recording

I specifically purchased the Soundblaster x-fi HD for vinyl recording to my computer. The problem is as the signal runs through the unit into my computer, i am unable to designate the different special effects available with this unit. I can record the record just fine but I was counting on being able to record vinyl and adding in the effects into the actual recorded file, but no matter what I do, i cannot get this to happen. Is it possible to do this with this particular unit, or if not, can you direct me to something that will? My email address is [email protected] Any info anybody can give me on this is deeply appreciated.

Jord, when I called it a "phenomenon" I did not mean to describe it as a bug or fault - you're right, it is a desireable feature of cycle recording.
As far as your question goes: Suppose you are recording track-by-track a song with two parts, an acoustic guitar and vocals, and the acoustic guitar part has an intricate eight-bar solo that needs to be redone. The advantage of using cycle recording and autodrop here is that you could define a cycle region giving you a two-bar intro (say) to the part you need to rerecord and a couple of bars of outro, making it easier to accomplish a musical phrasing. For example, say you're a vocalist trying to record a one-octave scale, and your pitch is off on the "fa-so." With cycle recording and autodrop, you could sing along with the "do-re-mi" and settle your pitch before rerecording the notes you flubbed, whereas (as I understand it) if you're just rerecording the "fa-so" in cycle mode, you won't get the "do-re-mi" as an intro after the first pass and would then just hope that you're nailing the notes you need to rerecord cold.
You can combine cycle recording with autodrop in Midi - why not in audio? It's a desireable feature in both.

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.

Recording Vinyls with USB, Soundtrack limits max level to 0 db visually

Hello,
I am recording some vinyl records into Soundtrack Pro with a turntable that has a USB out. Sound quality and everything are good, but I can never seem to get recording levels above 0 db. The turntable has a gain knob and even if I turn it all the way up, soundtrack stops the entering levels from going above 0 dbs.
Plus, is it possible to see the horizontal track waveform above 0 dbs max? I would like to see if soundtrack is clipping or cutting my tracks beyond 0 dbs.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you. See that's the funny thing, no matter how I record it, SoundtrackPro doesn't allow it to surpass the 0 db. I imagine that it has a limiter that compresses it when it gets near 0 dbs.
But after the recording, I can lift it in the mixer up to +6 db...and it doesn't sound distorted to me at all (no cutting or rasping), matter of fact it sounds better (louder = better).
I even did a test where I took the peak beats (originally below or at 0) and raised them up 6dbs and exported it and you couldn't hear distortion. However when I raised the track fader +6 and the master +6 to get a +12 mix...then it was distorted.
I think they have the +6 in the meters so you can see when you've added to much gain after recording-using library effects; and in the track faders as a quick and easy way to add up to 6 dbs of gain with out having to apply a gain...whew!
When you say the "peak indicator" what exactly are you referring to? Where is that located? Are you referring to the little square above each fader in the mixer? where it puts the highest dbs reached? It changes red when you go beyond 0 dbs.
So what would you suggest I do? Record my tracks with a -3 db estimated peak to be safe? Normalize after recording? What's the best sounding and safest method?
Thanks so much again.
