Thanks for the tips on ripping.
Anybody know a good sound/recording site or list for tips?
I've been using rock solid Toast 4 and an 8X4X24 SCSI LaCie/Yamaha
on PB and beige G3 for several years. I work a lot off a turntable/stereo
with a 78rpm option and am looking for ideas on reducing 60 cycle hum
and drive motor rumble showing up on the finished product (CD).
I preview/play through records from powered speakers (only ones I have)
running from the G3 Sound Out port (less hum than connecting powered
speakers to stereo directly) but I'm unable to monitor the hum getting into
Sound In on the G3.
Source's Record Out : G3 Sound In
G3 Sound Out : Cambridge powered base module
A Radio Shack ground loop isolator between Source and G3
attenuated the sound so severely it almost eliminated the bass note.
Since turntable doesn't have a grounding wire (nor does the G3) and
the noise doesn't seem to be there until later tracks when the units have
heated up) the hum doesn't show up on the first few tracks of the CD.
I used to ground another turntable between the PB's PC card cage and a
convenient ground on the t/table it was rather inelegant and I haven't
started that process with the desktop.
Before I fry something - like my person - I'm looking for advice here.
Is some noise emanating from the powered speaker amplifier getting
back into the Mac? I should probably be using analog speakers since the
powered ones might even be polluting my house AC circuit.
Tapes off a Walkman or CD tracks from the caddy work fine as you
would expect.
Thanks,
Tom
