Hi, I've got a load of happy hardcore tunes which i've ripped from my vinyl collection...any recommendations on which software to use to clean up the audio?
I've been messing about in Soundforge but I cant for the life of me get the levels right and it geneally sounds cack!
Any help appreciated! |

I Use Audacity when i dub my vinyl, i just export it to wav
the best thing to do is clean your vinyl and have a good stylus
(Edit: What stylus are you using?) |

I've got the Ortofon Concorde S-120...pretty decent. I also clean the vinyl before recording.
When I compare my recordings to other MP3s the levels sound pretty different and thats not just the hi end. |

Noise removal kills the sound quality in your tracks so the best thing to do is to experiment weith EQing and see what sounds best to you |
| Samination |
if used properly, I think Magix Audio Cleaning Lab can do a pretty good job |

My approach is try and get the best take from the start with the best possible signal routing available to you. I suggest recording 44.1khz at 16 bits cuz you're most probably gonna downsample instead of up from there anyway. I have a few soundcards but I've found that the best one to rip vinyl with is my Traktor?s A6.
Soundforge has a setting for vinyl ripping and imo does the job. You CAN fiddle with eq's or compression/limiting but to be honest I don't recomend it unless you have a decent set up that actually tells you what you're doing to the sound.
to summarize: good converters, clean take, normalize. |

just buy a decent analog to digital converter for ?15, with a small pre amp on and plug it into your usb port
